I was
traveling in a car and while approaching a secluded intersection, we noticed a
small puppy. It was a totally black little pup, chubby and jumping around a
totally white dog which should not be its mother. The dog and the pup went
towards left side. When we also took left turn, we noticed that the dog and the
pup were going towards something and seeing it broke our heart.
There was
another small totally black puppy which was lying on the road with blood splashed
over its head. And a third small black pup was sitting near it, prodding it to
wake up. Now whole picture became clear. The three little black pups should be
playing on the roadside when one of them got hit by some vehicle or object and
died. While one pup tried to make it alive again by prodding, the other pup
noticed a white adult dog nearby and went to bring it there for help.
In a
glimpse, I could notice that the little pup which was dead looked as if it was
just sleeping and someone had splashed red color over its head. Since it was
not crushed, which is usually the scene when dogs meet road accidents. I
realized that I had never seen a dog’s blood before and only now I got to know
that it was also red.
We had
passed by and while I was struggling to stop tears flooding my eyes, I was also
angry at this world for creating such a brutality. At such episodes, we can
only take note that life is so fragile. May the little puppy be safe in its next
life and always live happily.
