They used to give us drivel made-up stories like this at church. Feed a beggar who comes to your house, and later you find out it was Jesus and now you're eternally blessed. 🫤 yeah that seems sweet and all but I clearly remember one instance when one of our naive church members fell for something like this in the real world and the beggar turned out to be a scam artist.

And that's why we modern jaded people don't do nice things for others anymore.

But if it was a literal dog on the road? sure :-) dogs aren't commonly as manipulative and scoundrely as humans can be.
