Reacting to the clip, a person said, "Yes, he is extremely friendly and cute. Used to play with him every now and then when I was working at a brand there. He is mostly taken care of by the Saz staff. Very nice of them. This is how these souls should be allowed to be safe."
"I am glad humanity still exists. Hats off to the mall management for letting this sweet soul be a part of the mall. Highly appreciated and I hope I hope more and more malls and public places give way and spaces to these speechless souls," a comment read.
An Instagram user wrote, "My friend and I spent 20 minutes giving him love! And we even took pictures!!! He’s such a sweetheart." Another person said, "I have known this pup since he was sick and scared of humans. Used to sit in front of my store. I used to feed him dog food with the permission of the mall management. There are good people working in mall management." "This doggo is an absolute cutie. I had taken my dog along for a dinner where we met her and they both loved each other," wrote an Instagram user.
