How would you make audience care about a hero?

"pat the dog" :
most people like dogs and consider them to be "good" animals, anyone who likes dogs is probably also good. Anyone who doesn't like dogs is probably bad. Therefore the hero must at some point (figuratively) pat a dog, and the villain should (figuratively) kick a dog.

Heros are kind to good animals such as dogs, horses, kittens, small birds, etc.

Villions like grown cats, snakes, insects, etc.
Heros are courteous, protective and kind to women, care for children who are defenseless.
They have suffered misfortune and not complaining. They have to work harder than everyone else.
They are captured and beaten, or at least threatened, by the villain.
The hero has to survive against unfair events
Villian embarrass the hero.
Hero suffered great misfortune in child hood.
