A security camera installed at the entrance of an office building in Georgia wasn’t just there to monitor for crime — it ended up capturing something much more beautiful.
It recorded a pure moment of kindness and love.
The street outside the building is home to several stray dogs, but their presence there isn't random. For years, one of the employees, Nino Tabatadze, has made it her mission to care for them.
“I give them food and water,” Tabatadze told The Dodo. “I build friendships with them.”
In other words, she reminds them every day that they matter — and a recent surveillance clip of Tabatadze arriving at work shows just how much that kindness means to the dogs:
This brief glimpse is just one small moment in a much deeper relationship Tabatadze has built with these animals, many of whom might not otherwise know friendship.
And the pups are more than happy to return that love.
“They are very affectionate and warm,” Tabatadze said.
For Tabatadze, being there for the dogs is a source of joy and fulfillment — a relationship that enriches both their lives and hers.
“Friendship with them brings me great happiness,” she said. “They brighten and warm the soul.”
