Eugene Bostick created a train ride for stray dogs

I saw this on X today and had to double check if it was fake. But it's the real deal. What a mensch.

Old old story. Sadly I doubt if he's still doing this ... probably not given his age at the time this went viral. Time for someone else to step up and continue the legacy?

Today was the first I learned of it and I was deeply moved by this man. His memory is a blessing still.

I was just wondering if he was still doing this. It's a nice story; just sad that it's not still happening.
