“I’m posting this after five months of the incident. I was in Bangalore for my summer internship. I booked an auto and told the guy I’d be a little late. When I reached, I saw him feeding street dogs some dog biscuits. Not Parle-G!” wrote the Redditor. They further stated, “Now the sweet part, he had this picture of a dog pasted in the front of his auto. It was his pet who had passed away just a month back. That cutie was only four months old. As a huge dog lover, it honestly moved me.”

Touched by the driver’s commitment towards animals, the passenger gave him an extra Rs 100. “At the end of the ride, I gave him 100 extra to buy more biscuits for the dogs. He refused at first, but eventually took it after I told him it’s not for you, but for those cuties you feed. A small moment, but it really stayed with me.”
Netizens lauded the auto driver. They shared that the story left them teary-eyed. One wrote, “This made my day. First thing tomorrow, I’ll get Rio’s (their pet dog) picture printed for my wallet with my parents’ one. Thank God for this post, it’s a good reminder.”
