A stray dog in central China has gone viral after a group of taxi drivers raised money for his surgery following a car accident.

At the high speed rail station in Xuancheng, Anhui province, a yellow dog became a beloved figure among the local cabbies.

Lively, friendly and always eager to run, the dog quickly warmed his way into the drivers’ hearts.

Last summer, driver Zhang encountered the dog and was moved by his gentle nature. From that day, Zhang and his fellow drivers began bringing food and spending their breaks playing with the dog.

They affectionately named him “Stationmaster Huang” as a tribute to the comfort he brought during their long, tiring shifts.
