Humans cannot communicate with animals properly through languages, so we have to guess the meaning of other species’ behaviors. In most cases, we believe in our assumptions as no one is likely to refute them, but sometimes, the truth turns out to be a far cry from what we suppose. One real-world example is in the story of the German Shepherd below.

However, the truth was completely different from netizens’ imagination, though it wasn’t less heartbreaking. The dog turned out to be a stray looking for a place for her little puppies. She ended up in the cemetery and picked a random grave to create a shelter.

The dog family then was given check-ups and necessary medical care. Most importantly, however, they were provided with a warm and lovely shelter with lots of care and love from gentle people.
