I just got up and after having
freshened up I got into kitchen to brew a cup of tea for myself. I live in
second floor of a building and just a meter or two behind is a wall which is at
a level of my kitchen’s window. Whenever I prepare something inside kitchen, I
always used to throw some food on top of that wall so that some animals like
dogs and other small insects could feed on. I did this because once I saw a dog
watching me expectantly while I was cooking. I fed him and since then I started
keeping a share on that wall.
This time it was different. I was brewing tea
and when I looked out of window, I saw a mother dog and a puppy. Puppy was
feeding on bones that I have thrown the previous day and mother dog was watching
the puppy dog eat. The puppy looked healthy but a mother was like as if she
hasn’t taken anything for long. I fed her with another slice of meat from my
refrigerator; it was snatched from her mouth by that puppy. She did not refuse
but gave it with her mouth watering a lot. I could not resist seeing this and
gave her another. She took it but did not swallow. She kept in her mouth and
walked away. I thought she might have it for herself peacefully moving away
from her puppy. After a while a mother dog came and this time with another
puppy. The meat that I fed her, she took it to that puppy after having made
sure that the first puppy gets the food. Three of them were looking at me again
and I knew it by their looks that they are asking for food. I threw another
slice of meat (pork) and this time I made sure a mother eats. I gave them one
each. Finally she could eat one.
I was taken aback by that action
of a mother dog. Although she was hungry, she made sure that her puppies get
the food first. I was thinking, will those puppies when they grow up, will they
ever take care of their mother? Will they find her food when she can’t find for
herself? Mother’s love is unconditional and nothing in this world can match
with the love of a mother. That love and affection of mother is priceless.
Please god; help all mothers on earth live happily and peacefully.
