A Bit of History

It all started with a neglected mutt with one blue eye and one brown eye. A dirty mutt that I passed every day on my way to elementary school.  In rain, snow and scorching sun, he greeted me from behind the fence, begging for some love and attention.

I saved my leftover packed in a brown paper bag for him. Every day I shared my food and gave him the rubs he so craved for; and every day we felt a bond. A bond of hope, happiness and healing so desperately missing in our impoverished neighborhood.

I called for my mutt with my brown bag in hand. No sight of him, no sound of his attention seeking barks. I called and called, but nothing appeared. Again, the next day I called for him and the day after that. He simply disappeared from my life. 

The legacy of that dirty mutt was a seed for animal compassion in a child who, now as an adult, strives for animal welfare and activism.

Thank you to the one blue eyed and one brown eyed neglected mutt, who now smiles down on me from heaven.
