Do not forget canine heroes

 

 

They live in a planet where they are unable to speak for themselves. Some end up

as strays, teased by mischievous children, tortured by cruel adults.

 

Report after report has been made about how “dangerous” they are but are they

able to tell their side of the story?

 

Are they given a chance to defend themselves?

 

Our canine heroes have been beaten and even killed by humans, but do they

complain? Are they able to share the pain they felt?

 

Some serve in the police force to help fight crime, join search and rescue

teams to save lives, and work in mines, exposing themselves to danger. Do they

get any awards for risking their lives?

 

One wonders why only the “problem cases” get media attention. But what about

all the good done by their canine counterparts? It makes many canine lovers shed

tears for their heroes.

 

Let us not forget that humans err and so will any living creature in this

world. But let us not look at only their mistakes but let us highlight their

greatest deeds and bravery which can put some humans to shame.
