Vietnamese man repurchased dog to give back to owner<\/h2>\n
\n

Dogs are truly our best friends. For any dog owner, having to part from their furry companion is an incredibly painful experience.<\/p>\n

It is understandable, then, that a Vietnamese old woman couldn\u2019t bear to let her dog go even though she had sold the dog due to financial difficulty. In the past few days, a video of her tearfully bidding farewell to her dog<\/strong> has been widely shared online, drawing attention from netizens. Touched by this, a charitable man has purchased the dog from the buyer to return it to her<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the video, the woman is seen standing next to her caged dog, reaching inside the cage to pet it. It was said that she had raised the dog since it was a pup.<\/p>\n

A man\u2019s voice \u2013 presumably the buyer\u2019s \u2013 can also be heard comforting her, saying that he\u2019d take good care of the dog<\/strong> and that she could come over to his house to visit it when she had the time. The man also complemented the dog on how well-behaved it was.<\/p>\n

Upon learning of the woman\u2019s story, Mr. L\u00ea V\u0103n Ti\u1ebfn, who makes a living out of breeding and selling rare dog breeds, was moved. He reached out to the buyer and repurchased the dog, then personally went to the old woman\u2019s house,<\/strong> which was 140KM away from his, to return it.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Ti\u1ebfn, the old woman spoke the language of the M\u00f4ng ethnicity and he never learned her name. He did not disclose how much money he spent to repurchase the dog, only saying that it was not a small amount. He told vietnamnet<\/a> that he did so out of appreciation for the love that the old lady had for her dog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The charitable man also contacted his friends to raise a small fund to help the woman\u2019s family<\/strong>. In the end, they managed to raise a total of VND5,000,000 (~USD215.25)<\/strong> to gift to her.<\/p>\n

Netizens are touched<\/h3>\n
\n

Both the woman\u2019s love for her dog and Mr. Ti\u1ebfn\u2019s good deed captured the hearts of netizens. Many took to Facebook to show their appreciation, and some even drew comparisons between this story and the extremely popular classic Vietnamese short story L\u00e3o H\u1ea1c <\/em>(Old Man H\u1ea1c), which tells of an old man who was forced to sell his beloved dog to make ends meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cOld Man H\u1ea1c was in just as much pain when he sold his golden dog. Now in 2020, the same scenario happened, but this white dog was lucky to find the right person at the right time,\u201d Facebook user Nguy\u1ec5n Qu\u1ed1c Vi\u1ec7t<\/a> wrote.<\/p>\n
