This Beautiful Bond Between A Dog And Train Driver Will Make Your Day

It is well established that dogs express immense joy and gratitude towards those who feed them. This video from a train station has proved the same once again. The undated video shows a stray dog eagerly anticipating a train’s arrival. Just as it sees the train approaching the station, the canine starts running and doesn’t stop till the train comes to a halt. The dog keeps up pace with the train’s engine carriage, where the driver sits. This video was taken by someone who was in the engine carriage. The person making the video also holds a plate of food.

X user who shared this video mentioned that the dog expressed excitement at the train as the train’s driver and engineer fed him regularly. The X user explained, “A train driver gave food to this dog at the station. The dog remembered the train, & the engineer brought food regularly. It’s worth seeing his joy. Someone cannot make every being happy, but kindness always makes a being happy.” This clip has over 2.7 million views and over 56,000 likes since it was posted on May 1. It is unclear where this video was taken.

An X user observed, “Apart from he is remembering the person who gave him food, he knows where to run without disturbing the passengers and carefully without hitting them.”

The Tahira Animal Welfare Foundation, a Pakistan-based animal rescue organisation, commented, “What a heartwarming story! It’s beautiful to see how acts of kindness, even small ones, can bring immense joy.”

Someone wondered if the driver could just adopt the dog as the dog clearly adores him. In response to this, some people argued that healthy stray dogs enjoy living in the open and it is not necessary to domesticate them. Making this point, an X user wrote, “It is his natural habitat, you can be kind to them without the need to put them inside four walls out of subjective desires.”

Another X user commented on the clip, “I often am in awe of a dog’s memory of details, especially those having to do with human kindness. This pup remembers the train even in the dark of night and runs to the front of the train and a few carriages along the track. Dog remembers too well who has shown kindness.”

This video clearly shows that no small act of kindness goes unacknowledged when it comes to dogs.
