In a fast-paced city like Bengaluru, small acts of kindness often go unnoticed, yet they can leave a lasting impact on those who witness them. From helping strangers to caring for animals, such gestures highlight the empathy and humanity that persist amid daily routines. One recent incident involving a local auto driver has become a heartwarming example of this, drawing attention on social media for his thoughtful actions.
A Heartwarming Encounter
The story came to light when a passenger shared their experience on the ‘IndianPets’ subreddit under the title, “An auto driver who carries his late dog’s picture with him every day!” The passenger recalled booking an auto and informing the driver that they would arrive a little late. Upon reaching, they were surprised to see the driver feeding stray dogs with dog biscuits near the roadside—a small act reflecting genuine care.
What made the moment even more touching was a photograph of a dog displayed in the auto. The driver explained that it was his late pet, who had passed away just a month earlier at the age of four months. The passenger, a dog lover, said the scene deeply moved them, noting how the driver’s actions combined remembrance with ongoing compassion for animals.
Small Gesture, Big Impact
At the end of the ride, the passenger offered the driver an extra Rs 100 to purchase more biscuits for the stray dogs. Initially hesitant, the driver accepted after the passenger clarified that the money was meant for the animals, not him. The passenger described the exchange as a brief yet memorable moment, emphasizing how selfless gestures can resonate far beyond their immediate context.
Social Media Response
The Reddit post quickly went viral, gathering thousands of upvotes and an outpouring of admiration. Many users praised the driver’s empathy and compassion, calling him a “very good man” and wishing that he receives similar kindness in return. Some also requested his details, hoping to support him by using his services during future visits to Bengaluru.
