When his son stopped at a point in the road a group of stray dogs came running towards him.
The dogs were hungry and appeared to be infected with mange.

and posted about it to the popular forum, the post quickly began gaining
a lot of comments from people who were also touched and wanted to help.

to help them get treated for their skin infections.
