A saviour for dogs

It was a pleasant afternoon, 14-year-old Rohit was returning home after playing cricket. As he walked through the passage, a dog bit his leg causing severe injuries. He screamed so loudly that his neighbours rushed out of their houses. His parents were devastated by the sight. His father and his neighbours then carried him to the ambulance while his mother comforted him with tears in her eyes. It took a few weeks but Rohit eventually made a full recovery.

However, during this time, people started telling the Apartment Management Association to send all the stray dogs to a nearby animal centre. But dog lovers vehemently opposed this, citing government rules against harming other creatures. After three months, when Rohit had recovered, he had no malice towards the dog. He believed that both humans and dogs needed safety.

Rohit gathered those who supported sending the dogs to a centre and made them sign a document. He then did the same with dog lovers.

Later, he approached the Management and proposed a plan to arrange, vaccinate and train stray dogs. He asked them to create a place for the strays  to stay and interact with people. The Management agreed and within a year all the dogs and residents were safe and happy.

Rohit’s compassion and selflessness served as a valuable lesson to everyone. Through this actions, he prioritised all the living creatures. Later,  he even earned a medal from his society for his thoughtfulness in resolving a significant issue faced by the community.
