Stray Pets

Hello, friends of read.cash. A few months ago, a kitten appeared at the door of our house. He was a stray kitten, but as soon as we saw him, we fell in love with him. Therefore, we take care of it. My son is super happy, he is his first pet. We take the kitten to the vet to vaccinate it for more than 2 months. It is already part of our family. But just my child began with the request to want a puppy, in addition to the cat. I bring you a fictitious story that happened to me when you made that request. Follow the goal of wanting to help those most in need whenever we can. Here it goes:

"The other days walking with my mother down the street I saw a small and skinny dog; I thought it should be hungry, so I fed it my bread. Seeing how happy he was, I encourage him to give him another piece. In addition, when I got closer, I realized that he was full of scabies, imagine, with no one to take care of him or cure him. My mom told me that it was enough and we continued walking, and as she walked, she was looking at that little dog with big eyes savoring the piece of bread.

That night I could not sleep. The big and grateful eyes of "Tato" (that's the name I imagined I gave to the poor stray dog), did not leave my mind. Maybe my mom would take him into the house. If I ask her, maybe, well, maybe not, she knows I like dogs. No, she would never let me have a stray in the house. That same afternoon I went around the garbage can on the corner, I wanted to see Tato again. There he was lying, with his head on his front legs, and a long, drawn face.

Seeing me walk towards him, he stood up quickly, and those bulging eyes flashed and his tail looked like a whirlpool. This time I was giving him bread little by little, bringing it home with me. I put it in the garage. I had water, a brush, soap, and gloves ready. What a bathroom! This Tato hadn't been bathed for years. Now you don't have to worry, I'll take care of it. Tato was clean. In addition to a visit to the veterinarian where he was vaccinated and treated to avoid future diseases. How happy I was, he looked at me and jumped on me. His big eyes were shining with gratitude and happiness. That day he ate a lot, I even think he started to gain weight. I prepared the bed for him in a box, and I said goodbye to him.

At dawn, a loud barking woke me up. It was my mother with a large, white dog with black spots, or black with white spots, which I know, who had entered the room. He told me that he was a Dalmatian and that he was for me. How uptight and elegant that dog was, but I didn't like his know-it-all's face, it was as if he believed himself to be a king. To tell the truth, I saw it as ugly. I jumped out of bed and ran to the garage. There was Tato, much more recovered, with his skin healed, waiting for me with his big eyes full of joy and his hurricane tail. He barked at me, but it wasn't a scare bark, it was a game bark. I jump on top of it, playing with me. Looking back, my mother was at the garage door, crying."

Many times we want to ignore and do not take into account these pets because they are streets. We pass them by, we are not able to see their suffering, and that their life depends on how much you can help them. Perhaps a small bite of that bread that you are eating in those moments will help her survive a few more days. I know that the common thing of all is to pass by. Do you know someone who stops? In my life, I have seen three people who do.

The first one surprised me by buying a whole pizza to give to a stray dog. Then I take a photo of the puppy and post it on his profile on social networks, along with the address, in case someone else would be interested in adopting it.

The second is a doctor that I have in my contacts. In WhatsApp, he always has pets for adoption in the states, both puppies and kittens. In this way, it finds a home for those who need it.

The third is a woman I met at one of my kitty's vaccinations. She told me that she had more than 15 in the house, including cats and dogs, and that she continued to adopt those most in need. Something worthy of admiration.

What about you? Have they tried?

Thank you for reading me and dedicating a few minutes of your life to me today. To my sponsors, thank you very much for so much support. This experience is being incredible so far.

See you between the lines, my friends.
