ONE FAITHFUL DOG

TOUCHING STORY|THE FAITHFUL

DOG AND THE NURSING MOTHER

A dog was so faithful that the
woman could leave her baby
with it and go out to attend
other matters. She always
returned to find the child
soundly asleep with the dog
faithfully watching over him. One
day something tragic happened.
The woman as usual, left the
baby in the "hands" of this
faithful dog and went out
shopping. When she returned,
she discovered rather a nasty
scene, there was a total mess.
The baby's cot was dismantled,
his nappies & clothes torn to
shreds with blood stains all over
the bedroom where she left the
child & the dog. Shocked, the
woman wailed as she began
looking for the baby.
All of a sudden, she saw the
faithful dog emerging from
under the bed. It was covered
with blood and licking it's mouth
as if it had just finished a
delicious meal. The woman got
angry and assumed that the dog
had devoured her baby. Without
much thought she beat the dog
with a wood to death. But as she
continued searching for
the"remains" of her child, she
beheld another scene. Close to
the bed was the baby who,
although lying bare floor, was
safe & under the bed where the
body of a snake was torn to
pieces in what had been a fierce
battle between the snake and the
dog which was now dead.
Then reality dawned on d woman
who now began to understand
what took place in her absence.
The dog fought to protect the
baby from the ravenous snake. It
was too late for her now to make
amends because in her
impatience and anger,she had
killed the faithful dog. How often
have we misjudged people and
torn them to shreds with harsh
words and deeds before we have
had time to evaluate the
situation?.
