Anand Raman was about to visit his sister at work one day when he noticed an abandoned street dog hiding underneath a car. It was another hot day in Dubai, and Anand gathered that the poor dog was just trying to stay cool. When he saw the dog's face he couldn't help but fall in love with him, and ended up adopting him and calling him Snowy. Here is their story.

The young puppy noticed Anand and immediately walked towards him as if they were old friends, happily wagging his tail. But Anand quickly noticed something wasn't quite right with the puppy's legs, he told The Dodo.

Anand couldn't help himself. He fell for the puppy right away and just sat there for awhile, petting the ecstatic pup. Then he carried the dog back to his car and decided he would rescue him.

The dog could tell he was finally in a safe place and immediately fell asleep on Anand's shoulder.

Anand drove the pup to the vet hospital, where he learned that the puppy had rickets in both of his front legs because of malnutrition. The good news was that the condition was curable and would go away as soon as the puppy got some decent food.

Anand took the puppy home and gave him a nice, long bath. That's when Anand had his biggest surprise: Once all the layers of dirt were washed away, the dog was actually pure white! Anand decided to name his brand new puppy Snowy, after the faithful dog from The Adventures of Tintin.

Snowy the puppy at first wasn't sure how to act inside a loving home. It was all such a new experience for him! In the first few days, Snowy would get scared when Anand took him for walks because Snowy was used to surviving on the streets. He was afraid that Anand was going to abandon him as soon as they left the house!

But Anand kept showering Snowy with love and affection, and eventually, the pup realized that he had found a home where he would be welcome forever. 

Now that Snowy is aware he has a home for good, he's come around. He gets along well with Anand's family and patiently waits all day for Anand to get home from work. Snowy is now the pride of the family, getting along well with all the children and dogs in the neighborhood.

What did you think of Anand's incredibly warm gesture of taking in Snowy? If you have a friend or loved one who could use an uplifting story to brighten their day, be sure to tell them about this story. Let them know you're thinking of them!
