To escape the loneliness that comes with being utterly alone in life, these orphaned kids of Robindra Shorbod Park in Bangladesh have formed familial relationships with stray dogs.
The life on the streets can be a terrifying prospect especially for kids who have no families to call their own. But they don't call a dog a man's best friend without reason.
Hence, the unconditional bonds forged with the other dwellers of the streets - the strays that roam around the alleys, alone and afraid - comfort not only the kids but also the dogs, the desperate seekers of love and companionship.
So when photographer Sam Edmonds visited Bangladesh, he found the existence of a makeshift family created between the children and the dogs in Dhaka, as reported by
Mail Online. He beautifully captured their bond on the digital canvas, beautiful enough to warm our hearts on a cold winter night.
