As Christmas approaches, many churches display Nativity scenes for the public to enjoy. A church in Cricima, Brazil, had just built up their own Nativity scene, and a crowd gathered to admire it. There was an unexpected addition to the scene, much to their amazement. A dog was cuddled up next to baby Jesus, trying to keep warm. As he napped, the dog looked to be at ease.

The puppy resembled a German Shepherd and did not appear to have a home. He had most likely come across the Nativity scene and felt it was the ideal location to rest. He was pleased to have discovered such a lovely spot to stay. Sure, it was convenient for the time being, but this adorable pooch deserved so much more.

People immediately began photographing and sharing the wonderful event. Everyone was captivated by this wonderful image, which was published all over the press and social media. Above all, they hoped that this puppy would get the loving home he deserves.

The details of this puppy’s future are unknown, but many people believe he was adopted by someone who lived nearby and welcomed him into their home for Christmas. Whoever opened their heart to this puppy did a great thing and very likely changed his life.

This photograph of the puppy napping in the nativity scene is certain to bring delight to many every Christmas. Even if a dog has had a difficult existence, they always appear to have optimism that things will improve. This puppy was relieved to have finally found shelter, and he now has an even better home as a result of his positive attitude.

Stray dogs may get quite chilly in the winter, so the puppy was probably enticed to the Nativity scene’s attractive cover and comfy bedding. He was also surrounded by friendly-looking human and animal statues, so he probably felt less lonely. It was only a temporary residence for him, but it was a magnificent and unique scene for everyone passing by.

Everyone was courteous of the dog in the manger, standing and admiring him. They took care not to frighten or shock him. Instead, they were taken with how cute he was, and they will never forget how he served as a “Shepherd” for baby Jesus.
