Want to share something with you today, it really touched me in a way. Even dog has the heart to protect its own species, why some human don’t?
I was driving at a housing estate this afternoon. I was approaching a T-junction and a frail dog crossed the road. I maintained my speed, not slowing down because I’m quite slow already. There’s a dog opposite the road, it was watching closely at the frail dog and at my car. It even seemed to be prepared to charge ahead if needed.
When I almost reached the junction, the frail dog was still crossing the road, I started to slow down a bit but getting nearer to the dog. The dog that was watching quickly ran out from the opposite road as if wanted to rescue the frail dog in case I didn’t stop. I did stop at the end.
Imagine a drama where someone crosses the road and the hero will come out and push the person away so that he won’t get hit by the car. It’s almost similar.
The dog looked at me, then went back to the opposite road. It didn’t just end there, it was still looking closely at the frail dog to ensure that it’s safe. The frail dog didn’t show any emotion but just walked, walked, and walked… Imagine someone who is down walking on the street not paying attention to his surrounding.
So? Even animals have such heart, what’s more to say when it comes to human?
A touching story indeed.
willie, it really made us ponder.
