Stray Puppies Won’t Stop Hugging Each Other Since They Were Rescued

ADVERTISEMENT

Two stray puppies have recently been adopted by Buddhist nuns in a pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and the two haven’t stopped hugging each other ever since. Though the bigger pup still looks too tiny and helpless to even take care of himself, he keeps on holding his younger friend dearly in protection.

One can’t help but wonder what the two have experienced in the streets before being taken in the temple that has made them look so scared and vulnerable. Luckily, the two are in good hands now. They’re getting used to their new home and even trying to learn meditation from the nuns. Just look at that Zen pose! Everything will be alright.

(h/t: dailymail)

RELATED:

    These two stray puppies were wandering lost and confused in the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

    Everyone ignored them until Buddhist nuns saw them and decided to take the pups in their temple

    The bigger pooch kept on holding his younger friend dearly in protection

    One can’t help but wonder what the two have experienced in the streets

    But now with every day the two nuggets are becoming more confident

    Because now they’re in safe hands

    And with every day the bigger pup is getting more and more relaxed

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Because he knows that now he has someone to hold his paw, too

    I'm calling BS on this ridiculously naive story. In every photo the puppies are being made to sit or stand upright - it's completely unnatural and staged. Here's what I think happened: these two puppies were near the temple, starving and desperate. They were taken inside, given a bowl of rice and some water, made to repeatedly pose for a sequence of absurd photos showing them hugging and standing, all for the amusement of the people there, and then forgotten and possibly regarded as a nuisance. No more rice, no deworming or anything else they obviously need. And one or both puppies has/have since died through neglect. Am I right?

    I also question why are the sitting up on every picture. This is unnatural. The rest is subject for speculation. But there is a strong sense of fear in the eyes of these dogs, like they are more fearful then hungry. ... by the way, stray dogs that I have seen don't look so scared, they look more apathetic. This is unnatural for these photos.

    Beth Hall Barbara · Chandlersville, Ohio i have a question??? it you look at the second picture from the bottom the little brown one looks scared.and look at him there is fear in his face and if you look the woman is only part of her hand and a long stick ...then in the last one he is sitting so still not looking at her and she has a stern look on her face at him.i hope these are investigated before you believe them.because all of the pictures are taken in same house. the little brown one does not even make eye contact with her that has me worried.did anyone else notice?

    I guess the lil' black one didn't make it? In the pics it looks ill and far too young to be separated from it's mom. They also seem to have worms, which reduces the chance for survival even further. But I'm glad one of them made it and has a reasonably nice home. It's a very tough life for dogs (and other animals) on the street. And now I need to go cuddle my own pooch who has never known anything but love in her whole life (and never will!)

    Julija, please take this horrible story off this Website. Can't you tell that those poor wee souls are terrified? It's obvious that no puppy stands or sits like that unless they have been taught to do so and probably not with very kind methods... They do not look healthy or happy. It's a very sad and depressing story and has no business being on your website. It's an obvious case of abuse and neglect. Please research your articles a little more carefully before posting...

    Also I eager that dogs don't ever take such strange postures. I've had dogs all my life and never saw any thing like it. Asians have little ideas about how to treat animals correctly. They eat anything that crawls, flies, swims, walks. The way they kill and keep animals is beyond cruel.

Found this comment and I need to share it; Mira Eleonora Pantazopol Iordanescu Faculty of Linguistics Bucharest NOT TRUE...NOT a happy ending story . The black one was SICK and died...( you can see him DEAD in a green plastic bag ) The original and TRUE story is in THIS ARTICLE from Vietnam media ( and there are many more articles ) There is NO happy ending . Use google translator and you WILL get the TRUTH...After so many years using the internet people STILL do not want to do some research and find the ORIGINAL source of images and the TRUTH... 1- those puppies were born at THAT Temple in Vietnam. 2- the nuns taught them to stand and hug each other. 3 - there is NO happy ending....the little black one DIED, because they do not have ANY kind of veterinarian care there for the animals they have... 4 - they feed them rice http://thoibao.today/.../thuong-dut-ruot-cau-cun-em-o...

    Hi Julija, here are some articles writing about the two dogs in Vietnam: http://www.yan.vn/tan-chay-truoc-cun-anh-om-cun-em-mot-khac-cung-khong-buong-95151.html http://tin8.co/chum-anh-cho-anh-om-cho-em-khong-roi-khien-cu-dan-mang-loan-nhip-20022 They're raised in Bao Hoa Son Pagoda in Hochiminh City. Unfortunately, the little one has passed away in 6/2016 :( You can take a look at the article writing about that here: http://www.yan.vn/thuong-dut-ruot-cau-cun-em-o-chua-bao-hoa-son-da-qua-doi-98694.html Since these two dogs have a funny picture capturing their posture as sitting like person, they're quite famous here in Vietnam. I hope it helps you to fix the article and look forward to your replying :)

    These dogs DO NOT LOOK HAPPY or RELAXED!!! They are tense! And now I learn that the smaller black puppy is dead???? WTF?? Where do you see dogs standing on their back legs against a wall????? Are you blind? DO NOT write insane articles like this that the dogs are safe??? Safe would've been dogs in their normal self, laying down, relaxing with a smile on their faces, or sleeping, or playing.... UGHH.... What is wrong with you???

    Do you know the name of the temple? I may pass by and see if the older one is indeed there or back on the streets. If the latter, then I'll adopt him

    I guess the lil' black one didn't make it? In the pics it looks ill and far too young to be separated from it's mom. They also seem to have worms, which reduces the chance for survival even further. But I'm glad one of them made it and has a reasonably nice home. It's a very tough life for dogs (and other animals) on the street. And now I need to go cuddle my own pooch who has never known anything but love in her whole life (and never will!)

    Julija, please take this horrible story off this Website. Can't you tell that those poor wee souls are terrified? It's obvious that no puppy stands or sits like that unless they have been taught to do so and probably not with very kind methods... They do not look healthy or happy. It's a very sad and depressing story and has no business being on your website. It's an obvious case of abuse and neglect. Please research your articles a little more carefully before posting...

    Also I eager that dogs don't ever take such strange postures. I've had dogs all my life and never saw any thing like it. Asians have little ideas about how to treat animals correctly. They eat anything that crawls, flies, swims, walks. The way they kill and keep animals is beyond cruel.

Found this comment and I need to share it; Mira Eleonora Pantazopol Iordanescu Faculty of Linguistics Bucharest NOT TRUE...NOT a happy ending story . The black one was SICK and died...( you can see him DEAD in a green plastic bag ) The original and TRUE story is in THIS ARTICLE from Vietnam media ( and there are many more articles ) There is NO happy ending . Use google translator and you WILL get the TRUTH...After so many years using the internet people STILL do not want to do some research and find the ORIGINAL source of images and the TRUTH... 1- those puppies were born at THAT Temple in Vietnam. 2- the nuns taught them to stand and hug each other. 3 - there is NO happy ending....the little black one DIED, because they do not have ANY kind of veterinarian care there for the animals they have... 4 - they feed them rice http://thoibao.today/.../thuong-dut-ruot-cau-cun-em-o...

    Hi Julija, here are some articles writing about the two dogs in Vietnam: http://www.yan.vn/tan-chay-truoc-cun-anh-om-cun-em-mot-khac-cung-khong-buong-95151.html http://tin8.co/chum-anh-cho-anh-om-cho-em-khong-roi-khien-cu-dan-mang-loan-nhip-20022 They're raised in Bao Hoa Son Pagoda in Hochiminh City. Unfortunately, the little one has passed away in 6/2016 :( You can take a look at the article writing about that here: http://www.yan.vn/thuong-dut-ruot-cau-cun-em-o-chua-bao-hoa-son-da-qua-doi-98694.html Since these two dogs have a funny picture capturing their posture as sitting like person, they're quite famous here in Vietnam. I hope it helps you to fix the article and look forward to your replying :)

Are you blind? DO NOT write insane articles like this that the dogs are safe??? Safe would've been dogs in their normal self, laying down, relaxing with a smile on their faces, or sleeping, or playing.... UGHH.... What is wrong with you???

    I'm calling BS on this ridiculously naive story. In every photo the puppies are being made to sit or stand upright - it's completely unnatural and staged. Here's what I think happened: these two puppies were near the temple, starving and desperate. They were taken inside, given a bowl of rice and some water, made to repeatedly pose for a sequence of absurd photos showing then hugging and standing, all for the amusement of the people there, and then forgotten and possibly regarded as a nuisance. No more rice, no deworming or anything else they obviously need. And one or both puppies has/have since died through neglect. Am I right?

    China. They watched their mother get chopped up for dinner right in front of them. Typical of the Chinese. No exaggeration. They drop living dogs into boiling oil to cook them. And those are the easy deaths. NO exaggeration.
