He found someone calling out for help.
Published on Oct 27, 2023 at 5:06 PM
The other day, a boy in Brazil was walking home from school when he heard something alarming. It was the sound of a dog in distress, crying out for help near a construction site.
When the boy scanned the area, however, there wasn’t a dog to be seen. Fortunately, rather than continuing on his way, he decided to follow the sound to where it led.
And that’s when he found a hole with a puppy trapped inside it.
The boy then alerted his sister, Karol, who rushed to the spot to help. She did her best to reassure the trapped dog before carefully lifting him from the hole.
“He was quite scared and trying to bite,” Karol wrote on TikTok. “So, I gave him water to calm him down a little. He was very weak. I wet his little body and gave him water, trying to get him going.”
The dog was exhausted and was unable to walk at first, so Karol and her brother decided to carry him home.
In a follow-up video, Karol said they took the dog to the vet, initially believing him to be a stray. However, they later discovered that the puppy had owners, a family living nearby.
His name is Doguinho. They’d saved his life.
Karol has kept in touch with Doguinho’s owners, offering assistance in the event that he requires additional care. Fortunately, however, he’s well on his way to recovery following that scary ordeal he’d been rescued from.
“I think he was traumatized by what happened, but the veterinarian said that he is doing very well,” Karol wrote.

Stray Kitten Walks Up To Woman At Baseball Game And Falls Asleep In Her Lap
She brought the cat home with her ❤️
Nat Rumoro was recently watching her fiancé’s baseball game in Puerto Rico when an unexpected fluffy guest showed up. Out of nowhere, a tiny stray kitten hopped up on her lap — and refused to leave.
At the time, Rumoro didn’t think of herself as a cat person. But the kitten didn’t seem to notice or care. He curled up, got comfortable and didn’t budge for seven whole innings.
“Another guy [who was] watching this interaction [came] over and was like, ‘Looks like this cat just chose you,’ and I was like, ‘Oh no, I’m not bringing him home,’” Rumoro told The Dodo. “And he was like, ‘I have a feeling I’m going to see you tomorrow, and you might have a different answer.’”
When the game ended, the kitten ran away. Rumoro assumed he’d disappeared and prepared to return home. But then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw him sprint back over to her. He even sat down right on her foot, refusing to let her leave without him.
Out of every single person at the game, the kitten had chosen Rumoro. He followed her around everywhere she went, never straying far from her side.
At that point, it was already midnight. Rumoro and her fiancé had a choice to make: They could either leave the kitten where they’d found him, or take him home with them to their Airbnb. Considering the state he was in, they decided they had to help him.
“He had three different gashes on his nose [and] his ears were black,” Rumoro said. “He clearly needed help.”
Since it was already so late, Rumoro decided to take the kitten home and bring him to the vet first thing in the morning.
“It was like he almost knew or could sense that we were helping him,” Rumoro said. “The first night was so cute because he just curled up and … I swear it was the first time he’d ever felt safe in his life.”
At the vet, the kitten got diagnosed with ear mites, which can be deadly for cats. But after a course of antibiotics and some medicated cream, the kitten started feeling better in no time.
Even though Rumoro and her fiancé live in Kentucky, over 1,000 miles from Puerto Rico, after everything they and the kitten had been through together, they knew they had to take him home. Rumoro decided to name him Toro, the Spanish word for bull.
“He’s living his best life now in Kentucky,” Rumoro said. “He’s a little confused by the snow, but he likes to put his paws in it until they get just cold enough. And then he’s like, ‘Yeah, get me back inside.’”
While a lot has changed in Toro’s life, a few things have stayed consistent: He still follows Rumoro around everywhere she goes, and he still loves nothing more than sitting on her lap for hours at a time.
To keep up with Toro and Rumoro, you can follow them on TikTok at @natrumoro.
