Unlike the Cat Distribution System, the Doggo Distribution Network works in very mysterious ways. Largely because the stray dog population is cared for far better than the feral feline population, and as such doggos need less help finding homes. But also because different species require different approaches. And in this story we have lined up for you today we have a truly interesting situation in which is the DDN obviously did not have a way to home several strays in a park, but did still manage to find a person to care for them, as if they were his own.

A match up which not only provided the cute canines with the care and comfort they needed, but also served the kind hooman who put their time and money on the line for these darling doggos when his time of need came around. Proving that pupper love fully flows in both directions.

  • What a sweet thing to happen so naturally. It is not often that the doggo distribution network gets involved so heavily in helping hoomans and doggos unite, but it certainly has done its magic here. Heck, just the idea of finding a hooman who would give up a kilo of food so easily just to make the dogs happy is one heck of a task.

  • Ok, this is truly some next level care for canines. Most shelters struggle to make this kind of financial commitment, and they have donors and people to help them. This is just one guy on his own, trying to make a difference in the lives of the only souls who kept him company. Truly heartwarming.

    Well the main wholesome part starts when a year and half back I was going through a rough patch... My long distance gf was breaking up with me (and I still think that she was cheating with one of my other
