During the past 3 years, every night when the night falls, the Brazilian dog Lilica has traveled 6km to go to a benefactor’s house to ask for food to bring back to his extended family.
The touching story of the dog Lilica in Brazil despite the danger crossing the road 6km every night for 3 years begging for food for the large family of animals in the slums makes many people extremely moving.
Lilica is a resilient dog who was abandoned as a child in São Carlos, Brazil.
Lilica was originally a dog that was abandoned as a child in the slums of Sao Carlos, Brazil. Then, this dog was fortunate to be taken home by a woman named Neile Vania Antonio.
Here, the small dog makes friends with other animals in the neighborhood. The dog, cat, and chicken friends soon became Lilica’s extended family in the slums of Sao Carlos.

…and chicken…
A few years ago, Lilica became a mother for the first time with the birth of 8 puppies. Despite living in a poor slum, where food was scarce, Lilica still felt her motherhood and had to do everything for her children.
So from then on, every night when night came, Lilica traveled miles to find food for her young cubs. The dog brought home all that he could eat, but it was still not enough to feed the children.
Luckily, once while looking for food, Lilica met a kind, animal-loving woman named Lucia.
“When I first saw Lilica, I gave her food, but strangely, she ate a little and then stared at the plate again. A neighbor suggested that maybe he wanted to take the food away,” said Lucia.
After that, the intelligent, brave and selfless dog continues to return to the Sao Carlos slum, where the extended family is waiting with gratitude.
According to Ms. Neile, Lilica’s owner, at first Lilica brought food for her cubs. But over time, it began to provide for other animals in the poor neighborhood. Although the puppies have been adopted by families in the neighborhood, the work of this special dog does not stop. During the past 1000 days, Lilica has been regularly walking 6 kilometers every night to go to Lucia’s house to bring food to her friends.
The dog Lilica has been quietly doing her work for many years. It wasn’t until one day Mistress Neile wondered about the unusual nightly absences, and secretly followed Lilica, that this touching story was revealed.
