This photographer's viral photo is helping fund a homeless kid and his pet dog

So far, the Go Fund Me page has collected over 320 dollars!

Never underestimate the power of viral content.

When Mohammad Belaal Imran was trying to take a picture of a stray dog in Bahadurabad, Karachi, he started to wonder why the stray was wearing a full sleeve shirt.

Soon after, the photographer witnessed a young boy running towards the dog, yelling "Jaggu!" and the dog turned into a playful little mutt, delighted to see the kid, like a pet would be to see its owner.

In a Facebook post that's gone viral, Belaal states, "He started playing with him which was unbelievable as I never saw a stray dog playing like he was with this kid who feeds him everyday and he is the one who gave Jaggu his shirt to wear because its cold."

Since then, with some help from his friend, Belaal has set up a Go Fund Me page for the child and his furry friend and has raised a little over $320 so far! Donate here.

Zakaat Zakaat Zakaat. Must ensure to take out Zakaat every year and on top also encourage charity. If we can make it a point to give charity every-time we go out with family and friends to have pizza, steaks or burgers worth 3 to 5 thousand rupees; it certainly wouldn't make us poor if we give 500 rupees to the poor.

With popluation tsunami how much decent hard working people help these kids. Where are there parents who bring them into the world and dump on others and find them source of income. We can stop this child abuse by stop giving money directly to them. It harsh treatment but only way .

The kid does not even have shoes on himself but he gave his shirt to the dog. Now that is selflessness!

I wish I could help him out if he was in my village or near by I would pay for his school and living. Karachi is too far from my village which is near rawalpindi

Can someone adopt this beautiful child and raise him like his own son? Streets of Karachi is a dangerous place for him and his Canine Friend. Can you leave him at Edhi Center . Save the child and have mercy on him!!!!
