A woman was walking with her friends to the park when she saw a cute little dog on the street. When she brought him some sausages, she was overwhelmed to see the dog's reaction.
The dog's eyes welled up after an unknown woman fed food to him. The video showed him standing on his hind legs while moving his front paws, making it seem like he was clapping. The woman revealed:
"He started crying when we gave him food and I tried to put him in our car one time, but he refused and jumped back on the street."

Another part of the video revealed that the woman visited the dog one more time, and he immediately recognized her. He came running towards her, making it seem like he had been waiting for her.
"All things have spirit, be kind to them," wrote a viewer on Douyin
The woman recorded the adorable dog wagging his tail as she fed him sausages. She also guessed that the dog refused to get in her car because he mistook her for someone else.

Since it was common for dog catchers to lure dogs into vans, the little pup might be thinking the woman was one of them. She visited the same area a few days later, but the dog wasn't there. She added:
"I've tried to look for it a few times these few days but I couldn't find him"
The lady also planned on asking the cleaners if they had seen the dog nearby. The video went viral on the internet, and several viewers shared their feelings in the comments section.

"Dogs are also emotional animals, if you treat them well, they will give you a lot."
Another viewer believed that the dog made a mistake by trusting humans, thinking the dog-catchers might have taken him away. "It's possible that it's not there anymore," she wrote.
