Discussion Will forever miss this one
Hey everybody. I didn't know which flair to use so I used a random one which might match with the post.
I wanted this to let this out for at least 7-8 hours but had to keep myself busy from breaking down.
So the story goes like: I am a customer in a food stall and I am one of the regular customers. I sit regular there even if it's for 30 mins. There have been days I used to sit for 2-3 hours straight, talking with people, engaging with the dogs and pups.
And after the breeding months, the mama dogs gave birth, we have new pups in the area. The own of the shop is a really good man. He loves and adores dogs. There have been instances where he took roadside dogs to his home and got them treated with his own money. All things apart, there was this particular pup which I absolutely adored and everyday I used to cuddle and scratch this guy on his head and squish his cheeks. I went today and he told me that, "The brown one is gone". I didn't think for a moment a asked which one? And he said, "The one you kept clicking pictures of. He died." And my response was, "No, you are lying!", and I stared at him for whole 5 minutes.
For a lonely person like me, I have never been loved by people, nor by near ones, nor by parents and I can't expect outsiders to have a little empathy for me. Never had friends, never had anyone to call mine or "my friend"/ "my companion". And being loved by this small thing, made my cry internally. He used to come and scratch on my pants for more scratches and food, he even wagged his tail.
And yet again, someone I loved is gone. And again, I am left alone, reminded where I belong to.
Please pray for this little soul. I don't have much to ask.
Sharing some pictures of my Chiku.
And people might question me. But I really wish I spent a little more time with him. Loved him a little more. And clicked a few more pictures to keep him inside my heart.
