Man Stops Traffic To Help Stray Dog Cross A Busy Street

If man is not to stifle his human feelings, he must practice kindness towards animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals. — Immanuel Kant

In a video that's quickly going viral, an officer in India notices a stray dog trying to cross a busy road. As the cars rush pass, the officer can tell it's only a matter of time before tragedy strikes.

Thankfully, the officer's escort pays off brilliantly as the dog trots off to his destination. And you know what?! These two make pretty great partners. It's as if the dog completely understand the cop's directions, displaying such patience and obedience while watching and waiting for his cues.

With all the terrible news stories these days, including those that involve the senseless killings of innocent animals, it's so refreshing to see human kindness in action. He didn't have to do this for an ol' stray, yet he did so anyway. Bravo!
