Hey there, animal lovers. I wanted to share a quick reminder with you, something that could make a big difference for our furry friends out there.
Imagine yourself in a scorching hot day and you are ready to head somewhere cool. You hop into your car and prepare to drive off.
But wait! there’s something crucial you should do before diving off i.e. take a quick look underneath your vehicle. Why? because a split second and a simple glance could mean the difference between life and death.
Recently, we had the same incident in Jhamsikhel that really opened our eyes. We received a call from a restaurant and the owner said that one dog has been hit by the car and requested us to come immediately.
We reached where the incident had happened and asked what actually happened there. The owner of the restaurant said that the dog was sleeping under the parked car since it was very hot and humid.
Unfortunately, the driver didn’t see the dog sleeping under the car and accidentally ran over him. It was a heartbreaking sight as the dog was injured badly and crying in pain.
We rushed him to the nearby vet clinic for treatment immediately and thankfully we were able to help him and save his life. After a few weeks of care and attention, the dog was on his feet.
Seeing the dog recover properly and back to normal made me and my team very happy. Our efforts had paid off in giving the dog a new life.
This incident had got me thinking about how important it is for us to be a little extra careful, especially during these hot summer days.
Dogs are like us who seek out cool spots to rest and sometimes they find to rest underneath parked vehicles. While some dogs might move out of the way when they hear the vehicle starting, others might not be so lucky.
So, the next time when you are about to start your vehicle especially four wheelers, please take a quick look underneath your vehicle before you start driving.
It only takes a moment, but it could make all the difference for our furry friends. A simple glance could save a life.
If you could pass this message along to your friends, family and relatives, that would be amazing too. Together, we can make sure our streets are safer for everyone, both humans and animals alike.
By spreading this awareness, we can prevent such unfortunate incidents from happening in the future.
Let’s all do our part to protect those who share our community, no matter how small or tiny they may be.
