I am not expecting anyone to like or comment on this post. I just want to share this emotional scene that happened today when I was walking to office. I saw a man holding onto the tail of a street dog and very carefully that dog crossed the road making sure that he doesn't have to run in between to avoid traffic. Later I realised that man was blind. It really got me emotional and forced me to think if they can, why can't we?

The dog should be made into a real guide dog.

Quite a thought, but lately I have been seeing many videos where animals show more humanity then humans...

I agree.. That dog should be made official. A guide dog. The perfect friend.

That's really sad but your last sentence reminds me of my favourite cousin. He grew up in a rich family, very well sheltered, but he went to the Philippine Military Academy instead of going to a university. He had a difficult life there because the officials knew he came from an affluent family. Every time my Uncle came for a visit, he gets punished in front of his own father. My parents were very concerned about it too and wanted him to quit. So he sent my mom a photo of him in his uniform with a quote from the back that said: if others can, why can't I. Sorry i'm out of the topic.

That's a very brave thing to do. You should really be proud of your cousin. It's not out of the topic Toni. All I wanted to convey is we should always be ready to help when given an opportunity and your cousin had found an opportunity to help :) Really proud :)

@sonesh1 I was very proud of him then. I went there to visit him once as he requested my parents for my presence since he missed me a lot. When he graduated and because an army, we wrote each other letters. Sometimes he would call me too back then.

@toniganzon That's very kind of him. I am sure you miss you. You both really seem to have a good bond. May be that's why you mentioned Favorite before talking about him :) :*

Wow, I guess the dog knew that the guy needed help. Maybe he could adopt this dog and use it as a service animal.

The dog was of that person. That person looked to me like a beggar and it was a street dog. M sure no special trainings provided. But no training can do what love and loyalty can

That is indeed a very emotional incident. It only shows how animals can have a bigger heart than most humans. I hope humans learn something from this incident.

Well now I really hope this reaches to everyone out there. If this is creating an impact on our thinking. People really need to understand that helping hands are better than praying hands

@sabashekh Specially in India ( I guess you are from here too) I have seen people not caring for each other and on the other side there are some people who unconditionally just go ahead and help, which restores faith in humanity. I sometimes don't understand which side to choose... Ignorance is bliss. but ignoring such thing would really be a bliss ????

Right. People just want to be better than others and don't even see when they stand themselves. Now a days identity is based upon how better you are from others, not how better you are today than yesterday :(
