I heard a slight barking sound coming from a nearby alley as I was walking down the street. I discovered a shocking case after I followed the sounds. Unable to get up from the ground, there was a small, emaciated stray dog. There was not much hair left on his body, and he was covered in skin diseases. The poor thing cried and tried to move and my heart ached.
Having no idea what to expect, I cautiously approached the dog. It was clear that the dog was in dire need of food, water, and possibly medical attention. She wasn’t even able to drink a sip of the water I tried to provide her. It was evident that the dog had not eaten for days, if not longer, because of his extreme lethargy and exposed ribs.
I was aware of the need to act. I hastily cycled away and came back with some food and water for the dog while using my tricycle. Fellow animal lover Dayao joined me in the rescue effort when I got back, which was surprising. We tried to feed and calm the dog together.
Being very hungry, the child quickly finished the meal we gave him. It was evident that she had been rambling aimlessly for some time, looking for food. The dog was still weak and unable to move steadily after we gave him a thorough examination.
We can see that the dog has been in a lot of pain for a while due to his severe skin condition. Although it was not clear if he was lost or abandoned, it was clear that he desperately needed help.
We have made the decision to move the dog to a shelter where he can receive proper care and attention. Our hearts broke when we watched the puppy stuttering towards us, unable even to stand up straight. Until the moment we arrived, he seemed to have lost all hope.

We knew the long, difficult hike to the shelter was worthwhile though. The dog got another chance at life. It’s amazing how a little kindness and compassion can have such a profound effect on a creature’s future.
I’ve been touched by this encounter with the stray dog ever since. It made me think about how important it is to treat all creatures with kindness and respect, regardless of their past experiences or current circumstances. No matter how little our efforts are, we can all make a difference.
