Suelen Schaumloeffel and her fiancé live in Brazil with a dog they adopted, Lana.
Lana, who used to be a stray, sleeps in the couple's yard in a pink dog house and was given a brand-new blanket on July 3, 2017.
The next day, Suelen posted a photo of her dog on Facebook that took the internet by storm.
The photo shows Lana lying on her blanket. But outside the fence, there is another dog. Lana shared her blanket with a stray dog who was cold and needed comfort.
"Last night, before bed, we tucked the cover of the Lana in the little house so she could curl up and sleep," Suelen writes in her post. "Seeing the friend without a home and cold, Lana did not hesitate to share the blanket."
With the photo, Suelen posted a caption saying how proud she was of her dog and her generosity. Others around Facebook agree, because the post has, so far, received 24,428 shares and over 41,000 likes.

This is Suelen Schaumloeffel. She lives in Brazil with her fiancé and her dog, Lana. Suelen posted a photo of her dog on her Facebook page, and it's taken the internet by storm.
Here is Suelen with Lana. "Lana is 8 months old," Suelen tells LittleThings. "We adopted her in January." On July 4, 2017, Suelen posted a photo on her Facebook of her dog Lana sharing her new blanket with a stray dog.
Suelen's post has already received over 41,000 likes and 24,000 shares. "When I received the photo, it was my fiancé who took the photo and sent it to me, I was very surprised!" Suelen tells LittleThings. Along with the photo, Suelen posted a caption about her dog's generosity.
This is the translated message Suelen wrote on her Facebook page. Her dog’s generosity is a good reminder for all people to not turn a blind eye to those in need.
She wrote:
How many times do we see a similar of our passing and ignore, we do nothing about it? Pretending you didn’t see it doesn’t eliminate the problem, but it gives the false feeling that this problem doesn’t exist.
This is Suelen's original message in Portuguese. Even if you can't read her message, the photo alone says more than words ever could.
Here is Lana behind the fence at her home, sharing her brand-new blanket with a stray dog. "Lana’s friend showed up twice after that morning," Suelen tells LittleThings. "She reminded me of such important values that we forget sometimes."
Suelen tells LittleThings that what Lana did was “such a beautiful gesture, full of generosity.” To extend the generosity to the stray dog, Suelen says she left food and water out for him and if he shows up again they will continue to try helping him.
Many strangers shared Suelen’s post and thousands left comments saying her dog’s graciousness was such a beautiful sight.
Many of the 6,300 comments, like Angelo's, say that people should learn from animals and their generosity!
