Sometimes, dogs on the streets are happier than those in the homes. This story might give you some perspective.
A few years ago, a dog named Seti in our community gave birth to four puppies: two males and two females.
Seti was very scared of people because she has never been close to humans.
It took us seven years to catch her and get her spayed. When it comes to the adoption of puppies, most people have a narrow perspective and prefer to adopt male puppies.
While they are discouraged from adopting female puppies thinking they will just add more litter and create a mess in their homes. So, the two male puppies Hero Kancha and Seru were quickly taken in by new families.
But Chunti and Nakali, the two female puppies, took longer to find homes. We always want the best for our puppies when they are adopted into new homes.
One day, a lady came to our home and wanted to adopt two female puppies, Chunti and Nakali. We were really happy that someone wanted to adopt both of them.
She promised to love and care for them and never keep them chained. After some time, I wanted to know how our adopted puppies were doing in their new homes.
So, I visited to check on them. Sadly, it was devastating to see the condition of Chunti and Nakali. I found Chunti and Nakali caged. The adopters said it was just for a few minutes, but I wasn’t convinced.
So, I decided again to visit Chunti and Nakali, I saw them again in the tiny cage with only a bowl of plain rice soaked in water. It broke my heart to see the puppies I loved in such bad conditions.
The reason I gave Chunti and Nakali up for adoption wasn’t because I don’t love them, but because I wanted them to receive individual love from their new family and be pampered and cared for like babies.
But things turned out differently from what I had hoped. So, I decided to take them back from that family. I argued with them and brought Chunti and Nakali back with me.
They were three months old and very skinny, as if they hadn’t eaten for a long time. It took a month for them to get healthy again.
I realized that the meaning of love is different for everyone. What one person considers love, others may not see the same way.
They said they will love Chunti and Nakali but this experience made me realize that the meaning of love is different for everyone.
For us, loving a dog means accepting them as family and treating them like our own babies. For some people, loving a dog might mean keeping them chained in a tiny cage and giving them just enough food to keep them alive.
Chunti and Nakali missed the chance to be adopted by the right people because they were taken by the wrong ones. We couldn’t return them to the street because house dogs can’t survive there again.
So now, they are with us as part of our doggo family. Now, Chunti and Nakali are happy souls living with our furry family.
They visit their mom every day and are sweet and lovely. They enjoy watching people who pass by and are always ready to welcome anyone who comes in.
I hope the story of Chunti and Nakali brightened your day. Every dog and animal should be left to enjoy their freedom.
Dogs are meant to be the best companions for human beings, not a status or some tool to be kept for.
