A Good Deed

The conditions that stray dogs in India live in are appalling and so is the case with the many stray dogs that warm the grass in the lawns in my campus. Recently, one of the little pups had been badly injured by some big dog and my friend went out of the way to tend to him. What I couldn't understand was the tears coming out of her eyes whenever she thought about the dog. Could some pup who had barely an hours interaction with my friend really move her so very much? I completely agree that we humans are blessed with a soul that can do good and a heart that supports this goodness with compassion but that connection we share with other living beings is in explainable. I saw how she treated the pup like her own son and fed him with all the sweet praises she had. She ardently sat and completed her task of rescuing the dog but ironically the dog went missing after a while. However if we carefully observe she did a wonderful job i.e. a good deed by simply trying to give back what belongs to the nature. God made the earth and the animals that occupy it including us. The only difference is that we humans speak in a language that is not understood by those poor animals and so they cannot sit on the couch and gossip for hours together about their problems but simply cringe whenever in pain. Thus if we humans do something to minimize the pain and suffering of any living being less fortunate than us, we in God's eyes shall be noble and if each activity that we do is taken up in this manner we shall all be doing good deeds.
