A German shepherd begged people for food and then left with a bag in its mouth: one day we decided to follow it and saw something strange

We noticed this German shepherd a few weeks ago in a city park. Every day it showed up at about the same time, scruffy but with intelligent, attentive eyes. It carried an old paper bag in its mouth and looked at people with a pleading gaze. Many people felt sorry for it and put bread, sausages, or rolls into the bag.

But the strange thing was that the dog didn’t eat anything itself. As soon as it got the food, it left right away without stopping, heading deeper into the park and disappearing among the trees.

At first, we didn’t pay much attention, but then we got curious. Where was it taking all those treats? Why wasn’t it eating, when it looked obviously hungry? In the end, curiosity won, and we decided to follow it.

That evening we followed the German shepherd, and what we saw shocked us

It wandered for a long time along winding paths and then turned toward an old, long-abandoned house on the edge of the park. Through the rotting windows and the collapsed roof, we could see that someone was inside.

The dog went in with the bag in its mouth, and we heard a faint male voice.

When we looked inside, we saw a thin man with a haggard face, his leg roughly bandaged with rags, and he could barely move.

The German shepherd came up to him and carefully emptied all the food from the bag in front of his hands. The man looked at the dog as if it was his only friend in the world.

The man told us that a few weeks earlier, at night, he had witnessed a pack of stray dogs attacking this German shepherd.

He hadn’t been afraid to step in and chased them away, but one of the dogs still managed to bite him badly on the leg. Since then, he could hardly walk, and with nowhere to live, he ended up in the abandoned house.

The German shepherd, as if understanding that the man couldn’t get food for himself, started going to people with the bag and bringing back all the food for him. It didn’t eat a single crumb, giving everything to its rescuer.

Our hearts sank. We helped the man get out of the abandoned house, called doctors, treated his wound, and found temporary shelter for him.

For the dog, we bought a big bag of food, gave it water and something to eat. For the first time in many days, it finally allowed itself to eat.

But the entire time we were there, it did not leave the man’s side for a single moment.
