Somehow this heartwarming story has become even more heartwarming. That poor dog, those poor kids 😭

It’s such an unbelievable story. Tragic for everyone touched by these events. And at the same time, so amazing that these brave kids managed to survive. I hope they get the ongoing support they deserve.

I wonder if they are being approached to sell the movie rights.

The last I heard before this article, the dog helped lead them to the kids. But now that it's revealed that he actually accompanied them for a time, enough to make an impression and show up in their cute kids drawings, they have to make this a movie. It's got everything.

I hope the happy ending keeps up and the authorities find the dog and the kids end up with a family member who's well deserving and can help them through what they've been through.
