Dog Comforts Struggling Street Performer (Video)

A dog’s love can be the greatest thing in the world. It can make life so much better, even for people who have nothing else. And a loyal dog can pick you up when you’re at your lowest. That’s what one heartwarming video shows, as a struggling street musician turns to his best friend for some love. Anderson Hidalgo, from Venezuela, is a rapper and musician who goes by the name Rebel. Like many young musicians at the start of their career, Anderson was short on money, and relied on busking, performing for strangers in public hoping for tips. Anderson recently had a captive audience: he gave a free performance for strangers stuck at a traffic light in Colombia.

Pouring his heart out with his songs, the performer was ignored and left penniless as he continued to sing in the dismal weather. Thankfully, he had his trusty companion right by his side, a little white puppy. He was embraced by his biggest fan. Anderson has been struggling to make his dreams come true, but has been lucky enough to have some support from his furry friends. After his performance, his loyal dog Mayte was there waiting for him, wagging his tail. Anderson, clearly in need of a pick-me-up, hugged his loyal dog. The whole heartwarming scene was caught on video by Wara Ricoo, who was watching from his home above. The sight touched him, and he decided to go down and find out more. “For me, it was a moment of love and loyalty,” said Wara Ricoo. “So much so that I went down to talk to him.”
