However, the man clarified the situation with a detail that left many thinking: the street pavement was scorching hot and the animal had no protection.

While the child was wearing shoes, the dog’s paws were at risk of suffering burns. This explanation changed the course of the discussion, dividing the internet between those who applaud his respect for animal life and those who still see the image as something exaggerated.
