Hero faces freezing cold to give stray dog some comfort in most awesome way

It was a cold and snowy night ... That sounds like the beginning of a great story, doesn’t it? Well, in this case, that’s exactly what it turned out to be when a good Samaritan noticed a stray dog freezing in the snow and decided to do something about it.
With the weather in Giresun, Turkey, cold enough to cover the area in a blanket of white, stray dogs in the area were finding it hard to keep warm. Although some people let the animals into their homes to avoid the cold, some dogs weren’t so lucky. This black and white pup was huddled against a building, shivering and hungry.

Because there had recently been a theft in the area, surveillance cameras picked up the video below, and eventually the man was identified. Obviously not coming to the dog’s rescue for fame, the man simply acted out of pity and compassion.
He trudged through the snow and brought the frozen animal a bowl of food. It had probably been a while since the dog had eaten, so the food was most certainly welcome. Stooping down to talk to the pup, the man gently stroked his fur and patted him.
But it’s what he did next that made the news. This good Samaritan took his own jacket off and wrapped the dog in it, making sure he was warm and protected from the elements. Then, he simply walked away.
The man in the video turned out to be Bülent Kalpakçıoğlu, a municipal worker in Giresun. “I had to give him my coat, or my conscience would have eaten at me,” he said.
For his act of kindness, Kalpakçıoğlu was awarded a certificate by Giresun Mayor Kerim Aksu. "With this action, he gave a lesson in humanity," Aksu said during the ceremony, adding: "Animals are our friends. We love people, we love our city, we love all living things that are an integral part of us and our city."
