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."

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:

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.
