A heartbreaking little pup story

 

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.
