It was on the 31st of August 2021 at 10:05 in the morning, when I and my friends decided to get our credentials in our school as well as the awards and certificates that we worked hard for. This is the last day to retrieve our credentials and we are glad that we can get them on that day.

After getting our documents, we decided to go home. We waited for the jeep to come but after a few minutes, we aren't able to get one so we walked to another waiting shed. As we walked, one friend of mine named Eline saw a brown puppy at the side of the road. She eventually told it to us so we decided to check it out. At first, we thought that the puppy is just sleeping but what shocks us is that it can't stand up on its own. We concluded that the puppy was hit by a car. We stayed for a short while thinking about the next step that we want to do.

My friend Eline wants to bring the puppy with herself but she is afraid that it might get die before reaching home that's why we agreed to bring the puppy to the nearest veterinary clinic first to see its overall condition. I on the other hand went to one of the food stalls to buy plastic so that we can hold the puppy properly.

The nearest veterinary clinic in our area is a 10-15 minutes walk and 3-5 minutes travel if we are going to ride some vehicle, we can't find some jeep to ride so we chose the latter. I am the one who carried the puppy while walking and passed it by to my friend named Ken when I feel like my arms are already numb.

We arrived at the veterinary clinic after how many minutes. In that place, we met a barangay police safety officer. He saw the puppy and told us that its owner abandoned it and he doesn't know the reason why. One more thing, he said that the puppy is still walking when he last saw it so there is a possibility that our assumption is true.

We asked him if we can bring the puppy inside the clinic. He said that we can but the owner of the clinic might ask us to pay. Since we don't have enough money in our pockets to pay the possible bills, we decided to bring the puppy to our city veterinary hospital. This is a City Hospital for pets, they don't ask for any payments.

We just can't understand why some people prioritize money even if it is an emergency. That's why we are pissed at that clinic because if we don't have money then they wouldn't give us their service. I hate that mindset, is that their vision and mission?

Again we walked for over 15-20 minutes. When we arrived, the doctor immediately assist us. We waited patiently outside until the veterinarian calls a representative to talk about the condition of the puppy. I chose to be the first representative. The doctor told me that the puppy we brought to the clinic is dehydrated, they need to put 'suero' on it because it can't drink on its own which I agreed. He also explained to me that the puppy needs to be monitored because there is a possibility that it has rabies so one of us should stay.

After he explained all the things I needed to know, I went to my friends to explain it again. After assessing the situation, I and my friend Gina talked again to the doctor. She explained that we aren't able to stay for a long time because our parents might get mad at us. We are just concern about the puppy that's why we decided to help it up.

We asked the doctor if they can confine it for a while then if the puppy recovered we will adopt it. Sadly, they refused 😟 the doctor said that only half of the staff are working and the facility is not accepting any pet confinement at the moment. We are left thinking about what we should do.

The doctor said that if no one will take care of it then they have no choice but to put the puppy to a permanent sleep which is "euthanasia". My friend Eline cried when she knew that. We ask the doctor if they can do something like send it to another clinic or if they can confine it but he said that other clinics are far from their location.

We go out and explain to our friends what will happen to the puppy. We asked everybody if they can adopt it but me, Eline, Ken, and Gina have already a lot of dogs while Vil and James are going to be scolded by their parents.

At the end of the day, we left. Vil and James are the ones who decided to put the puppy to sleep although they don't want to do it also. We just prayed that the doctor spares the puppy life so it can experience the happiness of being alive.

Closing Thoughts

Can I ask you something? Do you think that we are considered as bad people because we decided that? Do you think that our decision to take the puppy to the clinic is right? The feeling of guilt is on our hearts, I feel like we are the reason for its death.
