A small good incident :-)
I have been feeding biscuits to two dogs in front of my home for almost an year. I’m extremely scared of being close to animals, especially dogs. But then I somehow managed to feed them being at a distance for the past one year. I have never tried conversing or playing with them. I just feed and leave.
Recently a new dog happened to join the gang. She has a belt around her neck, looks chubby, giving an impression to be an abandoned pet dog. As she always stayed in front of my home, I started feeding her also.
Last week, one fine day when I went out of my home, the three dogs rushed towards me, stood in front of me, blocked my path and kept starring at me. They usually do this when they are hungry and want me to take them to the nearby shop and buy biscuits. (They look very cute when they do this :-)). I smiled at them and as usual decided to take them to the shop. I also spoke my mind aloud saying “Seri vaanga”….! BOOM! Something totally unexpected followed this. The third dog, new to the gang, took that as a sign of me asking to play with her, got excited, and started jumping on me, trying to lick me and all that. Very soon one other dog joined her. There I was, shivering with eyes full of tears with two dogs jumping on me and not knowing what to do. I just wanted to get back to my home, but the dogs were around me and I didn’t know how to walk away. My heart did not let me ask anyone on the street to shoo the dogs away with stones.
Here comes the saviour, the third dog. Observing what was happening silently, she understood I was crying and getting scared. She gently pushed the other two dogs away; they all looked at each other and had some conversation. Moments of silence followed that. Then all of them stepped back, made way for me, let me go and kept looking at me as I walked away. I walked away with a lot of thoughts in my mind! The whole scene kept replaying in my head. I felt sad that I could not let my fears go and play with them. I felt extremely loved because of everything that happened.
The most touching part was the the act of the third dog. It felt out of the world when she understood me, conveyed it to her friends and let me go. I wish more of such good things happen everyday. I can’t stop thinking about it! :-)
Dogs are lovely ❤
