They say a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved.
This stray dog and orphaned kitten both suffered terrible losses in their lives, but together, they found love and strength again and began to heal.
The pup, Amira, tragically gave birth to an entire litter of stillborn pups and the kitten, Junior, was living all alone as an orphan on the streets of Aleppo
But thanks to Mohammad Alaa Jaleel, these two lost souls found each other and were able to find comfort in each other.
Mohammad rescued them both from a life on the streets, and at his rescue house they didn’t just find shelter, they found love and family.
Mohammad has become known online as “The Cat Man of Aleppo.”
This is due to his efforts to care for the cats who’ve been abandoned as a result of the war in Syria.
When Mohammed found Amira, he decided to take her to his rescue centre.
Shortly thereafter, he realized that the sweet rescue pup was pregnant.
And just a short while later, Amira gave birth.
But sadly, all her puppies were stillborn.
