Many people don’t really care about other living beings around them. However, at the same time, many go beyond their limits in order to provide proper security for others. This is true for people of all ages.
Recently, an 11-year-old boy from Brazil proved to the world that you don’t have to be a superhero to save others. Jean Fernandez, the boy in question, was walking along a busy street when he suddenly saw a dog whining in the middle of the road.
It was clear that the poor dog had been hit by a car and the driver had run away. The dog was left in agony, and there was no one around to save her. Young Jin had no time to lose. He quickly moved into action and rushed to the wounded dog in the middle of a busy street.
Jean stopped oncoming traffic and quickly picked up the animal in his arms. He then ran with the dog to safety. This incredible act of kindness did not go unnoticed. Several local residents filmed what was happening on their smartphones. Photographer Rafael Martins also captured the moment in several shots of a boy saving an injured dog after a traffic stop.
He also shared the moment online. Many of his social media followers showered the boy with admiration for his kind gesture. When Jean’s mother was asked about her boy’s kindness to animals, she replied that it was nothing new to her.
She said that Jean showed such kindness to animals from a very young age. She went on to say that Jean has always been eager to help helpless animals with a hopeless future.
The rescued dog’s name was Mel, which means “Honey” in English. He was taken to a local shelter where he was provided with proper medication and treatment. He is expected to recover from his injuries soon.
