                                                                     LEFT ALONE

I saw it in the morning while going to the college . It seemed to be out for a morning walk all by itself , after having cuddled it we hurried off to college.
      We again saw it in the evening and thought that may be it was out for yet another walk .We continued to see it out for many such walks for the next three days . Once i caught it sniffing and tugging at a garbage bag, i was astonished to find it in such an act because it was quiet uncommon for this leashed creature to do so.
       The next evening i eve's dropped a conversation between two of my pg mates and picked up words such as white ,cute, adorable, hungry and poor thing. It was some 6th sense that told me that they were talking about the same Pomeranian which i had seen roaming about in the neighbourhood since five days.I saw them sneaking out a piece of bread and giving it to that dog . That's when i decided to ask them whose dog it was .
       To this rhetorical question they replied that it was lost. As soon as we started talking about it other girls joined in expressing their sympathy which they felt for the same lost Pomeranian.Our conversation gained momentum and we pondered over as to whether or not to keep that puppy in our p.g.. I realised that like me there were many who could see their long time dream of keeping a pet getting fulfilled.
       But just like every coin has two sides,likewise there were a few who did not want that dog at our place.They were either scared or shunted dogs.
       They way they despised our ideas hurt me cause I saw my dream pf keeping a dog shattering.When we suggested this to our P.g. owners they rejected our suggestion and others joined in the denial.
       It was then that tears started welling up in my eyes.Uncle made me understand as to what may be the consequences of keeping a dog the pain I would feel when the owner would come to claim his animal.Though i understood the situation i felt bitterness towards few of my friends and even the owner of the dog who had left it on the streets.
      Its been two weeks since the incident but i still feel the same sympathy for the dog whenever i catch a glance if it roaming about in the streets.Such is my love for animals for whom i want to relentlessly work for once i complete my studies.
