For several years, Ahmed Embaby has volunteered at the Furever Rescue Foster in Cairo, but he has never had a buddy as loyal as Arafa the dog.
He was removed from the street, where he was having a difficult time due to his blindness.
Arafa is now secure.
He is surrounded by kind and compassionate people, but Ahmed is the one who has become truly precious to him.
Arafa follows him throughout the shelter, according to the man, and Ahmed refers to him as a “blind protector.”
When a volunteer gets to work in the morning, the dog goes towards him as soon as he calls out the dog’s name.
And, despite the fact that he cannot see anything, he identifies his dear friend by the sound of his voice – and he is never wrong!
“It’s a pleasant surprise!” According to Ahmed. “The dog’s unbounded enthusiasm with which he welcomes me never ceases to astonish me.”
This is yet another example of how incredible and selfless the love of dogs can be.
Although Arafa’s eyesight will never be restored, his emotional and physical state has much improved since his arrival at the shelter.
He never stops thanking the volunteers for rescuing him and caring for him, particularly his best friend Ahmed.
The shelter does everything it can to locate the dog in a new home with loving people.
But this is difficult because few people in the city are willing to care for a blind dog.
Despite this, Arafa smiles as he is rubbed by Ahmed’s soft hands.
