The world can be a scary place for a puppy. After all, they are entirely reliant on kindness and care from humans, who - let's face it - are not that reliable.

The pup you're about to meet is sadly all too familiar with being let down by people. After all of his siblings passed away, his only chance for survival was to be rescued.

Thankfully, that is precisely what happened! When the team from Love Furry Friends was alerted to a puppy living at a homeless campsite in a Ukrainian forest, they immediately went looking and couldn't believe what they found.

"When we got closer, we found a homeless man and a puppy lying, warming each other," the group said. "The man told us that there were eight puppies, but only one of the whole family was able to survive; the rest died from some kind of disease."

The homeless man and the adorable puppy were able to huddle together for warmth. The man had also been feeding the pup whenever possible.

The man had formed a bond with the pup, now named Johnny. But he surrendered him to the rescue team as he knew there was no way he could provide for the dog.

Of course, the team from Love Furry Friends was grateful for the kind man's help. They took the pup straight to the vet to be checked over.

A rescue team found the pup with a homeless man in a Ukrainian forest. The pair were huddling together, keeping each other warm.

The pup was one of eight, but all of his siblings had passed away from an unknown illness.

The pup was given the name Johnny.

Thankfully, Johnny was free from any viruses or infections. Considering the conditions the pup had been living in and that his siblings had all passed away, Johnny was in surprisingly good health.

The vet guessed Johnny was about five months old at the time he was rescued. He was vaccinated and treated for parasites.

Poor little Johnny had been hungry for such a long time; he was greedily swallowing down food without even chewing. It would take some time for his little body to adapt.

The vet advised that Johnny would need to increase his food intake gradually because he had been consuming such a tiny amount of food. His diet would take some time to become normal, as his body needed time to adjust.

Watch as the homeless man kisses Johnny sweetly to say goodbye and wish him a happy life.

What a truly heartwarming story. The kindness of the homeless man's heart is so touching.

Sadly, there are approximately 734,240 people living on the streets each night in Ukraine. And most of these homeless people receive little to no help, mostly fending for themselves.

The fact that someone doing it so tough can still have such a kind heart is truly inspiring. We hope Johnny - and the man who helped him - will find all the happiness they both deserve!
