While Muslims tend to avoid dogs due to their religious teachings, many are not above feeding a hungry animal when they see one.
In a video posted online, TikTok user @popieey was seen buying fried chicken and rice for a hungry stray.
She first spotted a lone stray gazing into the distance as if expecting something and stopped to see if the dog needed help.
@popieey found it to be extremely hungry after it immediately ate the few biscuits she tossed over
By the looks of the dog’s figure, we surmise the stray was female and currently nursing pups.
@popieey then drove 7km to the nearest eatery before making her way back to where she first met the stray
When she returned, the dog was still in the area, as if waiting for her return.
Getting off the car, @popieey handed the stray the meal which was devoured immediately.
Since the video was posted, netizens have praised @popieey for her kindness.
One netizen who claimed to live in the area thanked her for feeding the dog and said the strays in the area are generally friendly due to humans feeding them.
Another wrote, “Dogs are Allah’s creations too.”
However, some criticised her, saying this will harm the stray in the long run.
“What if this dog ends up losing its ability to find food and rely on humans to feed it instead?” read a comment.
