Dog helps disabled lottery ticket seller queue for rice<\/h2>\n
\n

You have probably heard people say that a dog is the best friend a man (or woman, of course) could ever ask for, and that saying is popular for a reason. Stories of cute canines going the extra mile for their owners, even sacrificing their own lives to save them from harm<\/a>, are not a rare sight on the Internet. A recently trending video in Vietnam is the latest proof of a dog\u2019s utmost loyalty to its hooman.<\/p>\n

In the video, a dog is seen patiently waiting for his turn at a charity rice distribution spot, then bringing the rice back to his disabled owner who was wheelchair-bound and couldn\u2019t queue himself.<\/p>\n

Just like in the rest of the world, the COVID-19 outbreak has left a drastic impact on Vietnam\u2019s economy, costing many people their jobs. Since the pandemic first hit Vietnam in January, many charitable efforts have popped up all over the country to distribute free rice<\/a>, food<\/a>, and other supplies<\/a> to those in need.<\/p>\n

In the last days of May, though, a charity rice distribution spot on the island of Ph\u00fa Qu\u1ed1c<\/strong> in southern Vietnam welcomed an unusual customer: a chubby black dog. His owner, a humble lottery ticket seller in the area, has a disability in his legs and couldn\u2019t stand in the queue, so the dog did so in his stead.<\/p>\n

The entire incident was filmed by a bystander and shared online<\/strong>, capturing Vietnamese netizens\u2019 hearts left and right. In the video, the dog is seen picking up a bag of rice placed in front of him, then delivering it to his owner who was waiting in his tricycle outside.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Ti\u1ec1n Phong<\/a>, the dog\u2019s owner Ng\u00f4 V\u0103n T\u00fd shared that he adopted this furry boy 4 years ago and named him Lucky. At the time, Lucky was just a frail pup who couldn\u2019t even eat by himself, so T\u00fd had to spoon-feed him with milk.<\/p>\n

Growing up, Lucky often helped T\u00fd out with his lottery ticket selling, and still does now. As T\u00fd has trouble walking, he usually has Lucky carry the tickets in his mouth to offer them to customers, then bring the money back. Needless to say, not many can turn their heads away from such a cute offer.<\/p>\n

T\u00fd and Lucky\u2019s story is a testament to the unbreakable bond between a good boi <\/i>and its owner.

Who knows, you might even get lucky (heh!) and win a prize.<\/p>\n
