This dog lived with homeless person. Now he hates doing this one thing. 

I can't imagine how hard it was for that homeless person to give up their dog. That is serious love.

I hope the owner who handed him in to the rescue is able to find a home of their own soon, they deserve the love of a dog and warmth of a home too.

God imagine having no home and your only comfort is your dog, but then having to give your dog away so they could live a better life. That's like giving your child up for adoption to live a better life. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I hope the homeless person is in a better place.

I hope his previous owner can somehow see this and recognize just what a selfless thing he did for his dog, I'm sure knowing how loved and pampered this dog is now would warm his heart.

The dog bringing the lady his comfort bath mat really melts my heart.

His owner who was homeless truly did love his dog. To be able to give your beloved dog to someone else because you knew it was in their best interest is real love. If love is anything it is not selfish. I hope the dog continues to have a great life and his previous owner is able to find a home.

Hero’s “ pure goodness” is a testament to the person who lost the love of this wonderful pup in California. While with this person, Hero must have spent a good deal of his time , outside, on a mat . That is why he finds comfort on a mat and wishes to share this comfort with his new Mom. My heart breaks for Hero and the homeless person on the loss of their love but my heart sings for the loving and compassionate relationship Hero has with his perfect and peaceful loving home in Canada.

A fur Angel on Earth. His previous owner made the ultimate sacrifice. I wish them well also.

What a lovely story! Hope the homeless guy who previously had Hero finds as much love and comfort in his life as Hero has.

I hope his old homeless owner sees this and is comforted to know Hero is still so loved…..

I wish the person who surrendered Hero could see his new home. Imagine what a courageous act it was for that person to let go his/her closest companion so Hero could have a better life. Such selfless love. It would be good to set that person''s heart at rest so s/he doesn't have to worry and wonder.

When I was homeless my dog was still well taken care of. Every situation is different. He was well fed and we spent a lot of time outside which he loves. Not homeless anymore but I thank God we had Denn during those times because he kept our spirits high. He was and still is a very happy, super smart, well behaved dog. ❤

I feel sad for the person that had to give him up as I'm sure Hero provided Immense comfort and companionship to that person. But I commend the person for thinking of what was best for the dog. Shows a great sense of love and character to do that. Here's hoping something good comes to this person.

I hope the person who gave Hero up is in a better place. That must've been the hardest thing in the world for someone to do, giving up their security and best friend, but knowing it was for the best. I hope they know that Hero is one happy pupper! (He’s Hero’s hero!)

my three fave parts: (1) the way she and her husband hid how much they wanted Hero for theirs, (2) Hero bringing the bath mat as comfort to his mom when she was crying, and (3) Hero yelling at the husband when his mom was upset, like WHAT DID YOU DO! I would 10/10 watch a show with Hero and his parents, they are so fun

This brought tears to my eyes what a beautiful story and what great people you are! Hero is a very special boy and deserves all the love he receives and gives, kudos to his previous owner it must have been hard giving up such a special soul. You hinted in your story and it’s true dogs always bring good and light into the darkest of times, we are so blessed to have them in our lives. 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

“We think that’s where his magic comes from” ❤ I’m really proud of the human being who chose to give Hero to a softer life that they themselves couldn’t yet achieve, and I hope they’re somewhere doing so much better today. ETA two months later and I HATE the conversation that started below this reply. All people deserve shelter, deserve food, deserve safety - those are human rights, and in the wealthiest nation in the world where we throw BILLIONS of tons of fresh food and new products into landfill every day, they should not be denied to anyone or anything. I work with people on the streets and they are the BEST pet owners. Their dogs would have been homeless regardless, THEY ARE ALSO BORN ON THE STREETS AND NO ONE RESCUES THEM, but instead of being feral and afraid they have a family and someone to find nutritious food for them. In return, the dogs keep a watchful eye over their companions and whatever home they’re able to find. I hope none of you end up homeless, but if you do I hope you find yourself with life-saving companionship like Hero’s!

I feel so bad for his previous owner. He must of really loved him; it's a great act of love to realize Hero would've been better off with someone who had a more stable situation. I hope he's doing as well as Hero is!

God bless that original owner. And God bless this beautiful dog. I hope one day the two can be reunited for a day, if only for a visit.

Bless his previous homeless owner giving him up so that he could have a better life. And he can’t be luckier being adopted by this loving couple. He has quite a few people to thank! And he is super cute!

You are a Hero as well. Having worked with the homeless I know they truly love their pets and it must have been so disheartening for the person to have to give up Hero. I hope that person sees Hero is now in a loving home.

I'm glad that Hero found a home where he can be happy. I'm also praying that the person that gave him up can find one, too.

Beautiful story! I’m trying not to cry but it’s so complicated not to. ❤ I think Hero must have had stressful experiences when he was outside, so that’s why he wants to stay inside as much as possible. Its so good that he is encouraged to take walks, it takes a lot of patience and dedication. The map thing is a strange coincidence! Means it was meant to be from above! 👏 it’s a miracle and a gift from the Lord. I never thought such things are coincidences but a gift. Thank you so much for loving him. ❤❤

The biggest sacrifice for a homeless person to give up their companion. Happy and heartbreaking.

His 10% and his empathy came from his homeless owner and his new human parents. I feel like crying in my heart and smiling at the same time. I usually have dog foods and bottles of water in my car trunk for the dogs with their homeless owners. Thanks for sharing your journey with Hero the Boxer. 🙏 for giving Hero a forever home with 💕 Greetings and best wishes from California 🇺🇸 💕 🙏

Glad you saw this homeless guy and decided to give the best live you could… to his dog.. 😊

Respect for the homeless man. He loved the dog so much that he did the right thing.

Dogs are often the only love & company individuals facing homelessness have because so many people treat them lower than dirt and won’t even make eye contact with them. He was selfless and strong for handing over the dog to the rescue. He sacrificed his own happiness so his friend could have a chance at a better life. I hope he gets help. I hope finds a safe warm place to call home. I hope he finds another dog to give all his love to.

I hope the person who gave him up sees this, and I hope they see it from their own new home. Bless you for saving that sweet boy

I can't imagine being homeless and having to give up your partner, probably the only true interaction and love. Just so they can have a better life. Oh bless them, i wish they could know this.

Dogs with homeless people are loved and never left in a back yard all day, and only taken care of a few minutes. The homeless love their dogs, and their dogs love them !!!

His owner truly loved him. He sacrificed his most precious gift so that he could go live a better life. Even though it took away from his. Breaks my heart. I hope that man is doing better now. He deserves to be happy too.

the anecdote of the comfort bath mat almost made me manly cry

The story about him bringing his bath mat literally makes me just smile so much, humans don't deserve dogs

This is similar to my Luna's story! She was also surrendered by her owner who had become homeless and had been living out of his car. He just knew it wasn't a good life for her and so he surrendered her to the shelter. I got her when she was 3 after she'd been at the shelter for a few weeks and she was very quiet and sad for the first few months. Even so, she was always sweet and you could tell how well trained and well loved she had been. Unlike Hero, she absolutely loves walks and while she gets excited to go for rides in the car, when she does, she picks her "spot" and is basically silent and unmoving for however long you are in the car. It's eerie how quiet she gets because at home she's very....communicative LOL. But in the car? You'll sometimes forget she's even there. I think that's something she learned to do when they were living out of a car because her personality just transforms during car rides - even like 8 hour ones when we go to visit family. She's the best dog and I've been so lucky to have her for the last 7 years. Rescues are the BEST. I couldn't love her more if I tried! I also never knew much about her prior owner but I can't imagine how hard it must have been to give her up. I think about him from time to time and always hope he's in a better place now and has a home and other doggies to love because he was clearly a great dog Dad.

You struck gold!!! He's absolutely perfect......animals can be perfect. Humans need more work. But you guys rock. Well done.....

This breaks my heart, he loved his dog so much he gives it to rescue. I hope the guy is doing well on his own. God bless

I adopted a dog named Rudy that lived with a homeless person too. I believe they may have lived in a car. It took Rudy a long time to stop going to the doors of our car because he thought that is where we lived. I have had many dogs throughout my life, and he is so very well behaved and appears to be grateful. We love him dearly, and will be 14 soon. Hero is precious. He really is.

Hero is living his best life. It must have been terrible for his previous people to give him up. Bless their hearts for looking out for him.

This made me cry, for the love and joy, between both of you, for this adorable doggy. Thank you, to the homeless guy, who surrendered this doggy. May he blessed, with a home, soon.

You had me at this baby bringing you his comfort bath mat 😭

He is gorgeous and 100% adorable. You look into those eyes and it is instant love. That homeless man truly loved him by giving up his dog so that he could have a better life. That takes a huge heart and I hope he himself is in better circumstances now.

What a wonderful story! Wonderful people, wonderful dog!

That is true love, to do what is best for the dog not what is best for you. What a sweet, precious soul.

it's the pittie in him that gives him the emotional intelligence - that's their super power

Hero is well named. The bath mat story is incredible. His former owner can feel very good knowing Hero is so loved. Blessings.

So glad Hero has a forever, loving home and gets to stay inside with his blankets and a soft place to sleep.

What a beautiful gift the homeless person gave to Hero ❤

Wow, the connection you have with Hero is truly amazing. The bath mat event just shows how extremely emotionally intelligent he is and also speaks for your strong bond with him. Enjoy each other's company for many years to come. I wish there was a way for the previous homeless owner to know that Hero is so much loved and has the best life ever. ❤️

hero is adopted by heroes

Thank you to this woman also for helping the homeless. God knows we need more of her ❤️

God bless your little 4 legged angel, and God bless the homeless person who made it possible for you to have him. Also bless that person for the unselfish act and giving away their companion so that he could have a family like you guys.

He’s got major separation anxiety. U can see it. Thank god he’s in a stable home now

The Homeless owner did a really great job training hero. He is an incredibly strong and big Boy, and yet trained to be so gentle! I Love how Hero loves the couch and his blanket. Thank you for giving him the Home and Love he so deserves!

**BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS ANIMAL!! I LOVE YOU, WITH ALL MY HEART!!**

How sweet hero is. I am glad you and your husband adopted him

My mind is continuously blown by the level of joy that comes from dogs. They truly are magical.

He's absolutely beautiful. What a sweet face. Thank you for giving this wonderful soul a forever home where he will get the love care and life ❤️ that he so deserves ❤️

I'm so happy you kept Hero. What a lucky and good dog. Blessings you guys.

Much respect to the one who loved Hero first. What a beautiful decision you made to take care of him.

What a beauty.

I was homeless myself a long time ago and while I never had a dog, one thing you find is that homeless people's dogs are often well-balanced - mainly due, I believe, to the fact that they are never alone; they're always in their pack, and aren't left locked in a house by themselves like many family pets. I have no idea how Hero stays so muscled with all that laying around, though 🙂

What a great rescue story. Hero has a wonderful life with these two great people who are totally dedicated to him. He's adorable.

Thank you for sharing. Hero’s original owner must have loved him so much, and to have given him up must have been an act of love and desperation. I am sure that person agonized over it. I hope they are as safe, warm and loved as Hero is and that he/she sees your video to know Hero is so ver much loved, treated so well and appreciated for himself. ❤ God bless all of you.

God bless that homeless person. It must have been extremely difficult to give the dog he loved so much up. He will be in my prayers. I hope he finds peace.

I love that he recognized the emotions from his owner and brought her the shower mat 😢such a good boy

They go to Heaven too!!!....They're never gone!!!!!.....THANK YOUUUU 💞 ♥️

How wonderful that Hero has found such a loving family. It’s so wonderful to see. I wish you all continued happiness with each other. ❤❤❤

Thanks 4 Adopting this Beautiful Boy❣️🥰

OMG, I made it to the part of the bathmat and started crying. What a sweet boy!

What a sweetheart. He has the most beautiful eyes.

Big bodybuilder dog with a big, adorable face! I love the picture of the husband carrying Hero like a giant muscular baby! What a sweet boy. He loves his family, and is so smart

His former parent made a heartbreaking decision to make sure his buddy got a better life. I hope they found a home of their own and know their little buddy is doing good.

This is the cutest story, and the owners of this dog are the the loveliest people taking such good care and giving him so much love.

Pitties have the most beautiful smile ❤

This dog body is sooo toned!! I’m glad you guys got him!! His forever home!

What a cool pup! I'm so glad Hero has such a safe, loving home! ❤

She is an angel. This one had me tearing up.

I have also worked as a homeless outreach coordinator for many years. By the end of your video I was in tears. Bless you first of all for adopting and loving Hero so much. And I hope the individual who is homeless finds shelter and care soon. Although, I have been a social worker for over two decades, it still breaks my heart when I see my homeless clients suffer so much and to have to give up their furry friends because they simply can't take care of them is devastating. Sending hugs to Hero.

Always good to hear that you gave him a safe happy warm home

He’s sweet you can just see it in his eyes. I don’t blame him for not wanting to go outside after being without shelter for two years and it’s great that his human knew that Hero needed a good home. 😊

He is one very lucky dog. To be love so much that his first owner gave him away to make sure he had everything he needed. One very lucky dog.

That is one gorgeous dog with a human personality. Treasure that hunk of love he deserve great parents like you guys.

He's a beautiful dog and he has soulful eyes. It's sad that his previous owner had to give him up but I'm happy that you are able to give him a good loving forever home. Peace and love to you and your family 💗❤️❤️‍🩹💜

He is so incredibly sweet. Having had boxers, I can say that the quirky, intuitive side of him may have come from the boxer in him.

*a dog is the ONLY creature that loves you more than itself* ! THANK YOU for sharing GeoBeats😇

What courage & strength it took to relinquish the only thing in this homeless persons life that loved them unconditionally. I can’t begin to fathom the sadness & despair this person must have felt. It brings tears to my eyes.

I know he still thinks about his first dad. Animals never forget.

What a wonderful dog Hero is. I love hearing about his happy ending. I hope the person who had to surrender him is in better circumstances today as well. 💜

That last shot says it all. Thanks for sharing your story.

He's such a beautiful boy. I'm so glad he has yall. His first dad would be so very happy. I'm sure that was a very hard thing to give him up. Thank you for giving this sweet boy his forever home 💞

Thank you for caring for God's Animals ❤️ 💖

Hero is definitely just that, a Hero!! Your heart will always be safe with him, & that's the greatest feeling. Also, I see some Dogo Argentino in his eyes, & the velvety fur you mentioned is a tell-tale sign of the Dogo. They're majesty is & loyalty is pure & he will always be safe with you. That's all he needs to know, so a huge thank you from this California bully breed loving rescue girl because I know what happens if they end up in a CA shelter.

He is such a good boy. My heart always breaks for the homeless I see with dogs; the dogs always have jackets on and are well taken care of.

Hero is such a gorgeous boy, how could anyone not love that face? I'm happy you are his forever home. Anyone can see he is really attached to you and your husband, and you both adore him. It is a good day all around! God Bless you all!

This is such a beautiful story!!! He really is a hero!!! Such a gentle soul!!!

You can see this boy had the hardest yet most loving upbringing, he must still miss his old friend who did the right thing. I feel for him yet am happy to see he will have a better life. Let's hope his first love has the same luck.

It breaks my heart to think that the people who most need a friend and someone who loves them unconditionally, can't have that because they can't afford it.

When you rescue a sweetie like Hero, they in turn, rescue us. That's love on the highest level. That's the kind of love that makes life worth living. ❤

I love how he wants to stay inside and snuggle on the couch!❤🐶 He is full of magic!✨
