Just the other day..

a colleague of mine, Wai May sent me this feel good story…

My 2 year old dog did the most unexpected thing! I remember it was a wet and cold evening as it has been raining the entire day. When the rain finally stopped, we brought her out for a walk and that was when it happened.

We saw her pick up something small and brown from the floor but we had no idea what that was so we just sat down waiting to see what she was up to. She softly put the brown object down on the doormat and started rubbing the brown object with it. Curious, we went to have a look at what that brown object was.


It was a bird!
And no, she wasn’t trying to eat it if that is what you might be thinking…she was trying to dry the poor bird up! The bird must have somehow injured itself during the heavy rain. So we picked the bird up and dried it with our hairdryer and later put it in a box to keep it warm.

The next morning, before the sunrise, we heard the bird chirping happily and so we set it free.


It was a very heart warming experience that I know I will always remember. This experience taught me that, if my dog can do something that we never knew she was capable of, we should be more alert of our surroundings to help others who are in need.
