Trên truyền hình và phương tiện truyền thông xã hội, chúng ta thường xuyên chứng kiến những video và hình ảnh đau lòng về việc giải cứu động vật. Trong khi chúng ta đánh giá cao những hành động tử tế của những người lạ tiếp nhận và chăm sóc động vật, rất ít người trong chúng ta sẵn sàng làm điều tương tự.
Một thanh niên đến từ Philippines thường xuyên rời khỏi nhà trong một thời gian dài mỗi ngày, và khi cha cậu trở nên tò mò, cậu quyết định đi theo ông. Việc người cha này phát hiện ra hành vi của con trai mình khiến ông vừa vui vừa đau buồn vì ông tự hào về những gì con trai mình có khả năng, nhưng ông cũng rất buồn vì hoàn cảnh mà ông gặp phải.
Ken Amante, một đứa trẻ 9 tuổi đến từ một thành phố xa xôi ở Philippines, sẽ rời khỏi nhà của gia đình mỗi ngày. Anh ta khởi hành dưới vỏ bọc đi dạo, nhưng anh ta sẽ không thông báo cho cha mình nơi anh ta sẽ đi. Anh có sự tin tưởng hoàn toàn của cha mình.
Ngày nào anh cũng lén lút mang theo một chiếc ba lô đầy thức ăn. Vì tò mò, cha của Ken quyết định đi theo con trai mình. Một ngày nọ, cha của Ken nhận được lỗi tò mò và muốn biết con trai mình thường xuyên đi đâu, vì vậy ông quyết định tìm hiểu một lần và mãi mãi. Anh ta theo con trai ra khỏi nhà trên cái gọi là đi dạo mà không nói gì để xem anh ta định làm gì.
What he witnessed was utterly unexpected. He found out that his youngster left the house on a mission every day. He found that his son was feeding the street dogs in that area after following Ken from a distance. Instead of ignoring the predicament of these animals, Ken decided to do all in his power to help them. He found his son feeding the street dogs in that area, much to his surprise.
A swarm of malnourished and sickly-looking strays surrounded Ken. These animals, who had previously lived in dread of humans, have grown to really trust Ken. He later recounted that the first time he took food to them, he had to stay 50 meters away and observe from a safe distance since the dogs would not approach the food while he was standing there.
The animals now trust him so much that he may freely pet them. Ken’s father captured pictures of his son in the act and was astounded that he had this much compassion. He put down his camera and rushed to help his son after snapping a few pictures.
Because the dogs are stray and are extremely prone to spread illnesses and infections, both father and son have been thoroughly immunized. They also take care to keep the dogs’ cleanliness in mind while they play with them. The decision to rent a plot of land was made by Ken’s father, who decided to help.
While spending time with the strays, they decided to give three of the regular faces they saw every day names: “Brownie,” “Blackie,” and “White.” Blackie appeared to be the mother of the other two and looked very ill. Despite this, she had remained loyal to her puppies. They erected a shelter and started a volunteer organization to help these animals.
Ken was resolved to do something to care for these animals that no one else would even look at. Since then, both father and son have started a volunteer organization to help homeless animals in the area. They started their initiative named the “Happy Animals Club” on March 31, 2014, and it has since been a success.
Happy Animals Club has become a huge success, and they are getting a lot of support from the community.
They decided to create a special location where they could continue to help the animals. Ken’s father made the decision to rent a plot of land in the area. He protected the plot of land all around it and made it available to all types of animals in need.

Even “Blackie” appears to be healthy and happy after being cared for. “Brownie” has grown so much since Ken first met him. This only goes to show that no matter how old you are, you can make a difference, and it is never too late or too early to inspire good change.
