In Jingzhou, Hubei on November 12, 2023, a vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes had a peaceful companion nearby: a little dog peacefully asleep inside a cardboard box, cozily covered with a blanket.

The dog's expression was serene, seemingly lost in a delightful dream accompanied by the bear doll at his side, unperturbed by the bustling surroundings. Onlookers couldn't resist reaching out to pet the heartwarming fellow.

The stray dog, affectionately named "Sweet Potato," has been a constant companion to the sweet potato-selling grandma since she adopted it, brightening her daily routine. After the video went viral on Chinese social media, students from a nearby school dedicated a new litter to the granny's puppy, in the hope that they will all stay warm through the winter.
