Eighteen-year-old Chris noticed a lone Shiba Inu, Ollie, sitting outside a closed bike shop every day. Curious, he learned the dog belonged to the shop’s missing owner, Mr. Lawrence. Moved by Ollie’s loyalty, Chris began feeding him during lunch breaks.

Oddly, Ollie never ate the food—he’d take it and run. One day, Chris followed him. The dog led him to an abandoned house, where a starving German Shepherd, Max, was trapped inside. Ollie had been feeding his friend through a hole in the door for weeks. Chris called the police. They rescued Max and discovered Mr. Lawrence had died suddenly, leaving both dogs behind.
