It’s also a great company, especially for single seniors. They provide sweet companionship and increase social interaction. Right now the internet is celebrating a special dog, Magnus. Magnus lives with his owner Anatoly Derbenev in the bustling city of Taraz in Kazakhstan.
Anatoly is 70 and uses a manual wheelchair to navigate the sprawling streets. His only family is Magnus, a tiny puppy under a year old who arrived in Anatoly when he was four months old, reports the Daily Mail.
Their bond is as strong as any human family bond. Despite being hit by a car, Magnus continues to walk the streets with his owner.
But he doesn’t just keep Anatoly company. Magnus used his dog’s intelligence to learn how to push his owner’s wheelchair. Sitting behind the chair and dipping his head under the seat, he gently pushes the wheelchair with his back. Anatoly steers using hand controls.
No matter how heavy the traffic or how many streets to cross, Magnus stays true to Anatolia. Despite the fear of traffic creeping into his mind, he puts it aside to help Anatoly navigate the terrain.
Although the people who touched him in the video offered to help Anatoly, the old man prefers to go his own way. Maintaining his independence is extremely important to him, as it is to many seniors.
Between his chair and his adorable dog, Anatoly can live independently. Refuse alms in the best faith.
