Golden Oldie
“Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.” – Sydney Jeanne Seward Tethered to a side post with a dirty leash, on the busy road outside Friendicoes .that’s how Goldie now renamed Shaggy was abandoned by his inhuman owners. And for what? All for an ear infection that was easily curable? Or for old age which we all will face sometime soon?
A golden spaniel in his later years, named Goldie for the colour of his coat, he came with a shaggy coat, matted and dirty, and an ear infection that hinted at the lack of care. Quiet and dignified, as demanded by his age, Goldie would not easily be won over. But he was always open for a treat. He lived 2 months at the shelter where he was treated for his ear infection and was groomed to within an inch of his life Goldie soon won hearts with his good looks and manners. One look at him and the questions would be “How old is he? Can we adopt him?”. The moment they heard “he is about 8-10 years old” you would see the interest waning.
Nobody wanted a dog who had not very long to live and go through the trauma of losing him just as he settles down in your heart. So Goldie sat at the shelter and waited for that one home who would put his needs before their own. And very soon his prayers were answered when Rajdeep Singh of Faridabad came forward to give him a home. Renamed Shaggy by his new family, this elderly Spaniel is now living with his own doting family and you are welcomed with a happy “woof woof” when you go visiting.
QUITE A FAST AND IMPRESSIVE SERVICE
I being a dog owner and a wildlife rescuer n conservationist feel pity when people go and buy a good and cute looking pedegreed puppy….love them for quite awhile n when it get old they start loosing interest due to the xpenses on it due to devote more time for their speechless frend who gave them a good time n company…and abondone thesame when atter worsens. I personally recall a incident from my childhood when a 10 year labrador BUJOO was abondond by his owners as it was suffering from hip displasia, when they abondoned it in anearby localty, the immense love of that unselfish heart made him find his way back to his owners, but again those people took him in car and left him veryfar away from where BUJOO never returned. I still visualize that moment which makes me eel guilty of not helping adorable BUJOO.
God Bless Shaggy with a long and healthy life.
God Bless Him….
only creature i love and care for apart from my loved ones are the dogs….they r ones who give unilateral love to their owners without expecting anything apart from love…blessed r those who live happily with their pets and EVILS are those who abondon their innocent pets who dedicated their lives to their owners loving them….but damn these owners who are worse than dogs…because dogs repect love….
a healthy life for shaggy and a big hug to the kind hearted ppl who adopted the beautiful dog
