88 Year Old Lebanese Man Shelters Dogs Abandoned During Coronavirus Crisis
Meet 3ammo Mahmoud, the big-hearted Lebanese man who has been welcoming unwanted dogs to his property for decades.
At 88 years old, 3ammo Mahmoud currently lives with around 80 dogs on the outskirts of Tripoli, Lebanon. A dream come true.
But amid the coronavirus outbreak, more and more dogs were abandoned near his property, propagated by misinformation about the spread of the disease from animals to humans.
As per his habit and with the help of volunteers in the area, 3ammo Mahmoud took them in, ensuring a clean and safe space that they would soon call home.

On that note, we would like to remind readers that there is NO EVIDENCE of companion pets/animals transmitting the virus to humans, according to the World Health Organization. So please, don’t abandon your pets the way you would never abandon your family.

Paid a visit to Amo (uncle) Mahmoud, who lives in a trailer on the outskirts of Tripoli, fighting against the powerful to keep his land, and who won’t say no to taking in another dog.
He’s now at over 100.#Covid_19 pic.twitter.com/EQ8k8FyxIi
