We all hope that every animal can find a loving forever home, but the reality is that there are many stray cats and dogs surviving on their own.

But some of these pets get by through the kindness of helpful strangers, who help give them food and shelter. And one stray dog knows exactly where to go for her dinner, becoming a beloved regular at one fast food place.

A TikTok user named Gio, from Mexico, introduced the world to “Subway Sally,” a stray dog who shows up every night to the Subway sandwich shop he works at, looking for a bite to eat.

And the employees are happy to oblige. “We always feed her,” Gio writes in TikTok video.

He makes Sally a plate of cold cut turkey and bacon, which the hungry dog happily gobbles up.

It’s a nice thing to do for a hungry dog, but sometimes you just gotta keep your loyal customers satisfied—Gio says that if they take too long to feed Sally, she’ll head next door to Taco Bell.

The video went viral on TikTok, and currently has over 3 million views.

The viral success led many people to ask about Sally. Some people pointed out that Sally seemed too well-groomed to be a stray.

In a follow-up video, Gio feeds Sally again and reaffirms that she is, in fact, a stray, she just looks nice because the “flower lady next door” likes to groom her.

He also explained that he hasn’t taken the dog to a shelter because the nearest one is 20 miles away, and that it’s a high-kill shelter.

Others have asked why Gio doesn’t adopt the dog himself. He explained that he can’t take care of the dog himself because he already has five cats, and that it’s hard to find someone who can because it’s a low-income area.

“There are a lot of strays in our town,” Gio said in a third video. “I live in a very poor town. More often than not, people can’t pay for pet food.”

And it doesn’t seem like Sally is looking to be taken in, either: “Multiple people have tried taking her but she never wants to go,” Gio wrote in a comment. “I suspect she has a regular place to sleep and possibly care for her puppies.”

But it’s at least inspiring to see people do whatever they can to care for their local strays.

“My coworkers and I are still going to feed her, don’t worry about that,” Gio said.

Thank you to Gio and his coworkers for making sure this poor dog doesn’t go hungry! Share this inspiring story!

The post Stray dog shows up at sandwich shop every day for her free meal appeared first on G2a-ltc.

Dog groomer Kari Falla knows just how much suffering a severely matted dog experiences, so when she saw photos of a desperate stray on a Facebook page for lost pets, she immediately volunteered to help.

A woman had discovered the dog on the side of the road and saved him from being hit by a car. Although it was midnight, Falla opened up her Oviedo, Florida shop, BGE Grooming to tend to the neglected pup.

Rather than placing him in a cage overnight, the devoted animal lover immediately went to work freeing him from his filthy prison of matted hair despite the late hour.

“They arrived at my shop at midnight and it took three hours to groom him. A normal groom only takes an hour-and-a-half,” Falla told Inside Edition. “When a dog is matted that badly, it can cause its blood flow to stop as well as bruising to the dog.”

Shaving the dog – who Falla named Lucky – was akin to an emergency medical procedure. The matting was terribly painful and so severe that Lucky was unable to go to the bathroom. He was also infested with fleas.

“I could tell he’d been that way for a few years from the pictures. You could tell it was extreme neglect,” Falla said. “I knew it was bad, but nothing prepared me for what I saw. It smelled like death and the dog could not walk. They had to carry it.”

Despite his extreme discomfort, Falla says Lucky behaved like an angel while she bathed him and shaved away the matts.

“The dog was perfect for me when I was grooming him. It’s like he knew I was helping him,” Falla said. “Once we shaved him, he was wagging his tail and was so happy. I knew I did the right thing.”

The next day Lucky was taken to see a vet who determined that he is only about four years old. They also confirmed Falla’s suspicion that Lucky is deaf and blind. He has since been neutered and placed with a foster family. Area officials are searching for his previous owners.

Although Falla is a seasoned groomer, she describes Lucky’s case as the worst she has ever seen.

If not for her caring heart, who knows how long it would have been before Lucky received the attention he so desperately needed. Let’s show this wonderful groomer some love in the comments!
