They say a home is where the heart lives — and for Rubén, known as Noé, his “home” is a moving cart filled with wagging tails and hopeful eyes.

Though he has no roof of his own, Noé has opened his heart to every abandoned dog he meets on the streets of Colombia. From puppies left at traffic lights to seniors discarded without care, he takes them all in. For him, every dog deserves a second chance.

“They’re living beings,” Noé said in an interview. “They are everything to me.”

What began with one lonely pup has blossomed into a pack so large that he now pushes them around in a double-decker cart. On the top ride Rocky, Ears and Cheeks — each with a painful past, now showered in love. Below sit the elders: Tembleque, Parkinson, and Morochito, who once was left beside him while he slept on the pavement.

Each dog carries scars from abandonment, but beside Noé, those scars fade into trust. He feeds them before himself, preparing meals of oats, meat, milk, and seeds with care.

“They eat first,” he said simply. “My food is less important.”

When they travel the city together, people see a man with nothing material — yet everything that matters. His dogs don’t care if he’s dirty or toothless; they only care that he’s there. And in return, they give him loyalty, joy, and purpose.

“The dogs keep me busy and give me a reason to wake up every day,” Noé said. “A dog’s love is the best there is.”

For a man with no house, his love has built the truest kind of home: one made of paw prints, trust, and unconditional devotion.
