Making the world smile isn’t hard at all. Take Ibrahim, for example.

Back in 2021, while on his way to school in Grozny, Chechnya, he saw two stray dogs soaking up the morning rays. He could’ve walked on by without a second glance.

But he didn’t. He paused for a warm hug, thinking it was just between him and the dogs.

Turns out, someone from a nearby place saw it all and filmed Ibrahim’s spur-of-the-moment hug fest.

The video quickly spread like wildfire, earning cheers from people near and far.

“I saw the video. That’s Ibrahim,” said Katerina, a buddy of his family, to The Dodo. “He goes to school with my daughter and helps her carry her bag. He’s a very kind boy.”

And the dogs from that day, plus the ones he’s hugged when no one’s looking, would surely nod in agreement.
