Photo of homeless man sharing his mattress with stray dogs wins hearts
The picture posted by IFS (Indian Forest Service) officer Susanta Nanda won many hearts. The government official took to Twitter on Sunday and shared a glimpse of humanity in a heart-wrenching photo. In the photo, a homeless man is seen lying down on the side of a road with a sheet of fabric under him. A lack of essentials though did not deter him from helping street dogs have a good sleep as he shared space with them on his “mattress”.
From the looks of it, six dogs laid down beside the man, lounging during the day. He had also provided his four-legged renters with an umbrella so they could take shelter from the sun. The IFS officer shared the heartwarming visual on his Twitter account and added in the caption, “Out heart has to be large enough to accommodate this big world.”

Folks appreciated the government official for sharing the image as one wrote, “Very beautiful thought,” while another added, “So heart warming!” Some others thanked the officer. A fellow touched by the image dubbed the homeless man’s heart a “24 carat gold heart,” while another ailed the man as the “god” on earth for helping the helpless.
The photo fulfilled a purpose of sorts as it restored hope for our species on the planet amid news of horrendous living conditions every day. Hope is indeed not lost for our kind.
