The clip above soon went viral, with Ibrahim’s actions garnering praise from strangers and friends alike.
“I saw the video. That’s Ibrahim,” Katerina, a friend of Ibrahim’s family, told The Dodo, adding that the scene is a good reflection of his selfless spirit. “He goes to school with my daughter and helps her carry her bag. He’s a very kind boy.”
The dogs he hugged that day — and all the others he’s hugged unseen — would most certainly agree.
