But have you ever thought to yourself, where do these animals sleep at night, especially when it is cold? One puppy in Brazil found a unique solution to that problem.

As the weather turns cold towards the end of the year, feral dogs will seek some warm shelter wherever they can find them. Some businesses have opened their doors at night so that homeless dogs on the street have a warmer place to sleep. But not all dogs can find such places, many dogs that cannot find a warm place to hide will be at risk of ꜰʀᴇᴇᴢɪɴɢ to ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ.

Luckily that’s not the case for the German Shepard. This poor dog was found curled up with baby Jesus in a manger. The incident happened in the city of Santa Catarina, Brazil when several women visited their local Christmas spot. They noticed a puppy lying next to the form of Jesus, the dog seemed to find comfort and warmth in lying there.

After the discovery, more people came, they gathered around the dog. He seemed surprised when all the people around him looked at him, but he didn’t move from his position.
