About this listen

A homeless dog wandering a rain-soaked town in search of shelter and compassion, is who we find as we enter the story. On a stormy night, the dog—once cherished but now forgotten—struggles to find refuge amid cold pavements and closed doors. With his matted coat and weary eyes, he endures rejection after rejection and bitter loneliness that weighs on his spirit. He roams dark alleys and empty streets, hoping for warmth that never comes, until a small miracle appears in the form of a kind boy named Benji. Armed with an umbrella and a heart of empathy, Benji offers the starving dog a peanut butter sandwich and drapes his raincoat over him. Gradually, the cautious dog accepts the gift and follows the boy home.

At Benji’s house, his parents are uncertain about the unexpected visitor. However, as they witness the bond blossoming between their son and the stray, their hearts soften. They observe the dog’s gentle nature and feel the power of the child’s compassion. Convinced that every living being deserves care and love, they welcome the dog into their family. In this narrative of hope, kindness transforms despair into a lasting home for the boy and the lonely dog.
