Sometimes, on a dark and chilly wintry night, we crave a pizza that’s bigger than… than our entire body.

But, being human beings, the most we can ever hope for is a pizza that’s bigger than our face.

This is not the case for Pizza Rat.

Just one slice of pizza is enough to swamp him - and getting it home to the missus proves to be something of a struggle.

But, utterly determined, Pizza Rat carefully drags his ooey-gooey pepperoni slice through the subway of New York City.

And the video has touched the hearts of people all over the world.

Check it out:

So why are so many people rooting for Pizza Rat?

Well, because Pizza Rat’s struggle is one we can all relate to.

And his determination, and perseverance, and ridiculous optimism, is something we can all learn from, too.

Yes, Pizza Rat dropped the pizza slice at the end of the video. And yes, we never see whether he came back for it.

But it doesn’t matter, honestly. Because the HOPE is still there.

That’s the important thing, eh?

Do you think Pizza Rat went back for his slice? Do you think he ever got it home to the wife and kids? And do you think his struggle is a metaphor for actual life itself?
