An elderly couple from Sichuan, China has captured the hearts of animal lovers with their heartwarming story.
In a video shared by Xiaohongshu user Tsuki33u77, she explains that the couple, who remain unnamed, are her aunt and uncle.
Whether rain or shine, they have spent more than a decade caring for strays in their community.
The couple rides their bicycles out twice daily — once at 6am and again at 6pm — to feed the strays in various areas around their neighborhood.
Their compassion have led them to spend almost all of their retirement savings.
Though we wonder how they will continue their work once the money runs out.
In addition to feeding the strays, the elderly couple has also rescued animals that were abandoned by their owners.
They are currently caring for five dogs and two cats, all of whom suffer from health issues such as blindness, skin diseases, and injuries from accidents.
According to the netizen who posted the video, the couple never intended to share their acts of kindness.
However, she urges people to think carefully before getting pets and to avoid abandoning them.
“I don’t ask everyone to like animals, but everyone must be kind,” she says.
