Straight from the harsh streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, pictures of two puppies have gone viral – for good reason. They clung onto one another, trembling and scared of human touch for fear that a pair of human hands would drive them apart.

For strays, these two puppies already had a hard life by themselves, with no human to care for their every need. When they were found and rescued, they were hugging each other with quivering eyes.

It was until a group of Buddhist nuns decided to give them a home – right in their temple.
