The best thing about dogs is that they know how to show lots of love for humans. They truly live up to their name of being "man's best friend."

No matter what breed they are, they give us unconditional companionship and loyalty. Whether it's a playful Labrador bounding around the backyard or a gentle Golden Retriever cuddled up beside you on the couch, dogs have an innate ability to understand and respond to human emotions.

Their unwavering affection and eagerness to please make them cherished members of countless owners worldwide. In other words, they're not just pets.

They're an important member of any family. So how do dogs show their love anyway?

There are actually many ways. One of the most heartwarming displays of their affection is that familiar scene when you open your door and your dog is right there, ready to greet you like you're the center of the universe.

You can practically feel the joy radiating from their wagging tail and bright eyes. They might jump up and down, bark with excitement, or even let out those happy cries that seem to say, "I missed you so much!"

In this post, we will explore how stray dogs display their sweetest side to humans, as shared by Quora users in response to this question:

What's the sweetest thing you've seen a stray dog do?

There was one stray dog in Turkey.

A group was putting on a theatrical show in Turkey.

Their script included someone falling and getting hurt, and lying on the ground in great pain.

The stray approached the actor who pretended to be injured.

The actor who played that role was a Numan Uzunsoy.

Uzunsoy was doing such a great job of pretending he was injured that one member of the audience thought it was real and rushed to his aid.

That member was a stray dog.

The doggo started comforting the hooman.

The dog ran up to Uzunsoy and comforted him by licking him and rubbing his face against his.

Everyone who watched the stray were in awe over the dog's sweetness.

The dog stole the show; everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed and took videos of him.

Uzunsoy said

I was very happy when I felt the dog’s kisses. I was very touched. He was like an angel who wanted to help me. It was a very emotional moment for me. I was not expecting it.

The dog was later escorted off the stage, where it left after it seemed to be sure the man was okay.

A day after that, Uzunsoy returned to that same area to find the stray dog and return the favor by finding him a home.

Strays or not, dogs will always be dogs - helpful, loving, and protective creatures.

One user shared their dog's response after getting adopted.

Cry. When I adopted him.

While this user has yet to see one, they have read stories about sweet strays.

I haven't personally witnessed events, but there are heartwarming stories of stray dogs showing incredible loyalty and kindness, like protecting other animals or forming bonds with humans in need.

Dogs just know.

Being raised as a very strong dog lover (thank you, Daddy!!), I’ve encountered many strays and I feel that God has blessed with the gift of calm…I’m not a Cesar Milan, but strays seem to know my soul and my love for dogs because everyone of them has come with a wagging tail and a smile, and just like God, I love each dog that has come into my life like they were my very own.

Dogs always have a knack for melting our hearts, don't they? These stories serve as a poignant reminder that even strays possess the same sweetness and kindness as any other dog breed.

So, if you're contemplating getting a dog, perhaps it's time to consider adopting one from a shelter. That's because strays need lots of love, too.
