Some people might not associate the word ‘home’ with a specific location. They consider their family to be their second home. <\/p>\n

Choco and his two dogs were at ease on the steps of a park in Bucaramanga, Colombia, despite the fact that they didn’t live in a house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And this house was hosting a doggie birthday celebration. Choco was seen singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to his two dogs Shaggy and Nena, who were both wearing birthday hats, by a passerby.<\/p>\n

Choco hugged and petted them on their birthdays before pulling out a small cake for them to share.<\/p>\n

For the cake, he even lit some candles. He blew out the candles after the song and kissed each of them on their gorgeous doggo faces.<\/p>\n

Before they all ate cake, he cut a slice for each dog and then one for himself with a plastic knife. The stranger who had observed Choco started filming the puppy party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choco had also dropped a few tears, which he noticed. When the observer approached Choco to see how he was doing, he discovered that he and his dogs were homeless.<\/p>\n

Choco had been living on the streets for several years and had become homeless after leaving an unpleasant home situation, he discovered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choco then met Shaggy and Nena, two dogs that became his family. Despite the fact that he does not have a house, Choco makes every effort to provide for his dogs. <\/p>\n

Passenger shared a video of Choco and his dogs on social media, asking for donations of food, supplies, and money to help Choco get back on his feet. <\/p>\n

That video was viewed by almost 440,000 people. People began to come to the park with their dogs to assist Choco.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choco received a phone as a present and began an Instagram account, which currently has over 187,000 followers. <\/p>\n

He’s been selling shirts on the platform and donating a portion of the proceeds to help stop animal suffering.<\/p>\n

Choco wants to build an animal refuge and pursue a profession in music in the future.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s unclear why homelessness is so stigmatized, given that more than half of Americans (59%) live paycheck to paycheck. <\/p>\n

If you don’t have a support structure, one missed payment could lead to you missing rent and being evicted from your house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you’re homeless, having a pet can help you survive by offering unconditional affection and thus a source of improved morale, lowering addiction due to the fear of losing your companion, and motivating you to take care of yourself and the pet.<\/p>\n
