A protective dog’s instinct is to bark at outsiders who come close to their home as a matter of course. For the dog called Mimi from Brazil, on the other hand, this is not the case. She has built an endearing bond with a homeless guy who comes to see her on a daily basis.

In fact, the two best friends have a beautiful daily ritual that makes Edna Kobori, Mimi’s proprietor, melt. He even videotaped their beautiful routine and posted it on social media, where it quickly went viral and grabbed the hearts of everyone who saw it.

According to Kobori, a homeless guy named Mr. Sebastian can’t seem to pass by his block without stopping and chatting to Mimi. “She’s aware of who cares about animals.”
