Around 5 a.m. on January 15 in Dezhou, Shandong Province, a stray dog melted hearts with its heartfelt plea for help outside a braised meat shop.

Shop owner Mr. Zheng opened his doors to find the dog standing there, repeatedly bowing with its front paws and giving him a pleading look. Touched by the dog's intelligence and desperation, Mr. Zheng offered it some food.

After closer observation, he realized the dog was likely a nursing mother in poor health. In a moving twist, the dog didn’t eat the food but carefully carried it away—likely to feed her puppies.

1月15日凌晨5点左右，山东德州，卤肉店店主郑先生在早上开门营业时，发现一只流浪狗站在店门前。狗狗看到他后，不断地用前爪做出作揖地动作，眼神中也透露出乞求的目光。
郑先生被狗狗的这一行为所打动，认为它非常聪明且可怜，于是决定给它投喂点吃的。
郑先生介绍，他仔细观察后发现，这只流浪狗可能是处于哺乳期的狗妈妈，身体状况显得有些虚弱。狗狗并没有当场把自己投喂地肉吃掉，而是叼着离开了。
