Going for a simple bike ride in the Brazilian countryside, Jotto Vieira and a friend saw a dark figure at the edge of an isolated dirt road one weekend. A black and white puppy was waiting there, wagging its tail before rolling onto its back in front of them. What was just a spontaneous outing was going to last a little longer than expected…
That day, nothing was scheduled. As told The Dodothe 2 friends were riding on a casual outing, on a dirt track lost in the countryside of Brazilwhen a dark, hairy shape appeared in the distance, just off the path.
As we get closer, Jotto Vieira and his traveling companion understood what it was: a small black and white, with no one around him, on the side of the road.
Stomach in the air and first sips of water
Far from being fearful, the little dog wagged his tail and rolled onto his back, offering his belly to this stranger who had come with good intentions. The cyclist offered him water; after a moment, the doggie started drinking from the palm of his hand.
“ We spotted this little dog on the road. All alone. Died of thirst and hunger, » said Jotto Vieira subsequently, specifying that the little survivor was now leaving for a bike ride, heading towards the city.

Nearly 5 km in the arms of his savior
Leave it there? No way. The cyclist lifted the puppy in his arms and set off on the approximately 5 km that separated him from the nearest town, determined to lead this little passenger to safety.
“ If I had left him there on the road, he would have died, poor thing, » he confided, evoking the dangers he feared for the animal: an animal which could have attacked him or a truck which could have hit him. His idea was simple: go to town so that someone could adopt this little dog, which he found very cute.
Along the way, Jotto Vieira filmed some passages of the journey. We see the ball of fur looking up at its savior, with what visibly looks like confidence.
A resident promises to watch over him
Adopt the puppy yourself? Impossible: far from home, in the middle of a cycling trip, the cyclist did not have the possibility. Once he arrived in the nearest town, however, he found a local who promised to take care of the young dog.
The story does not end there, however. Jotto Vieira undertook to return to this town to get news of the little survivor, he who had only come for an impromptu outing with friends. For him, this meeting can be summed up in one sentence: “ IIt seems that the Good Lord has put this little dog on our path, and us on his. »
