Cats who teach me to fly…

When I was driving out from Nirvana Memorial Garden’s driveway last Sunday, I saw a hungry and injured stray dog rummaging for food. She was limping and thin. Her ribs are protruded and I believe she has just given birth. I quickly pulled over my car and fed her all I have in my car. She finished ten small canned of wet food and that was quite a lot to me. And I was left with nothing but cat dry food. I left her quite a lot of dry food and water and hope that it can keep her fill up for the night till I come again the next day. 

I asked help from the dog rescuer and see of there is any feeder nearby who can feed her. As usual, no one gives a damn. And this is the second time I asked SOSD for help. SOSD shows some improvement this time. They did not reply!:) The last time when I asked them for help, at least they make an effort to attempt to put the dog, Blessed to sleep. But this time round… 

When I look at her, I see a black African, not a dog. A malnutrition black woman, very thin and always hungry at the other end of the world, trying very hard to keep herself and her children survive. That’s what I see… And I don’t see any difference between this dog and people who live in hunger! 

I told myself I have to help this dog just like I have helped Blessed. 

I went again last night. I guess I was late and I couldn’t find her. I drove the whole stretch of old Choa Chu Kang Road but I couldn’t find her..There are roads that are too eerie to drive through as there are cementry everywhere.

There was nothing much I can do but to leave her food and water at the same spot where I fed her. Hoping she would pass by and have a decent meal. I was quite lucky though. I saw a foreigner from a distance and I quickly ran towards him and see if he sees the dog. Showed him the photos and yes, he saw the dog once in a while. Meaning, the dog loiter around the area. Another chinese nationale came forward and he too saw the dog quite often. I am so glad that this chinese man agreed to help feed the dog. I left him with only a day’s meal for the dog but will bring him more tomorrow. 

I don’t think this is going to be a long time solution because there is no reason why someone should help me. What I am going to do is to find her puppies. Next, I have to seek for advise on what to do if the puppies are found. Hope some dog organisations can take in the puppies and rehome them and the mummies are always being kick away. I hope it will turn out to be this way so that I can beg for only one space for the mummy dog in a shelter. I remember there is this very nice lady who runs a shelter. She wanted to keep Blessed the other time without asking much in return. I shall approach her. The most important thing right now is for the dog to know where is her regular feeding area which I have started last Sunday. The chinese man will check on the food tomorrow morning and see if she eats it or not. We have to do it bit by bit and step by step. This time round, I want everybody to be happy. No more angry May!
