To have an unconditional friend, all you need to do is give a gesture of love to a vulnerable dog and you will have more than a friend, a guardian angel who, regardless of his condition, will always be there.
Unfortunately, his situation was worse, because unlike many other stray dogs, he is completely blind. His sense of smell and intuition became his best tool to survive on the streets of Cairo, Egypt.
The darkness that sheltered him came to an end when a good Samaritan, Ahmed Embaby, a volunteer at the Furever Resue Foster shelter, saw him lying on the street alone and helpless. The man did not hesitate to help him and rescue him from the terrible situation he was in.
Little by little the dog was regaining energy, during that time he had won the heart of his rescuer and without realizing it they were best friends.
Every day before starting the work day, Embaby arrives at the shelter and sweetly calls his faithful companion, Arafa euphorically runs out to greet him
For the shelter staff, there is no greater satisfaction than seeing the dogs happy and showing them in their own way how grateful they are for having been taken off the streets.
There are many dogs that spend their days waiting to be part of a family.
However, the goal is that both Arafa and every dog that lives in the shelter can be adopted and find a permanent home that increases their happiness and treats them with all the love and respect they deserve.
Arafa shows us that there are no barriers to showing love and that everything can be overcome when you receive the right help.
