SAO PAULO, July 17 (Reuters) – Miguel Pereira de Souza and his dog Ruby zoom through Brazil’s sprawling metropolis Sao Paulo on a motor-bike on a mission: hand out free dog food to less fortunate pooches.
The two have become social media sensations, chronicling their efforts delivering food to dogs-in-need for over 150,000 followers on TikTok.
The now inseparable pair met when Souza, 51, found an injured and homeless Ruby under his car in the South American city nine years ago.
An emotional Souza vividly remembers the day he found Ruby, and how soon after he devoted his free time to looking after hungry street dogs like Ruby once was.
