Every now and then, humans and their affection for their furry friends reminds us that there’s still some good left in the world.
This was certainly the case when a TikTok video of a man feeding stray dogs banana leaf rice in Malaysia went viral.
He shared that he feeds them every week, doing as much as he can to help them out.
Posting a clip of the man feeding the dogs on TikTok, Maran Archunan aka @datodrmaranarchunan shared a video of what he does for the stray dogs in his neighbourhood.
The footage starts by showing Dr Maran taking out a few sheets of banana leaves from the boot of his vehicle and laying them out by the roadside.

About five to six dogs gather excitedly around him, clearly anticipating their meal.
Some of them paw at the boot of the vehicle, sensing the tubs of food there.

Dr Maran then takes the pots out and serves the rice on the leaves, prompting even more canines to rush over at the sight of the food.

They devour the rice as soon as it’s on the leaves, with one of the dogs even eating directly from the pot.
This wasn’t the first time Dr Maran had helped stray dogs in his area, with other videos showing him feeding them and putting puppies up for adoption.
The video above, in particular, has gone viral, with many viewers praising him for helping the canines.

Another commenter raised the possibility of opening a shelter, to which he clarified that he only feeds the dogs every Sunday when he has the time.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have time to manage a shelter daily.
