Several of my neighbors and friends called me and said they had leftover foods including bones for the dogs.

I already had a discussion about this with a friend of mine a while ago. I was invited to their house and we had chicken for lunch. I set aside bones and extra foods for the dogs. Then I asked her not to throw the extra in the trash and to put it aside for helpless dogs and animals that can not find food in the cold season.

"These bones are not edible for any animals," she said.

I responded “Do you think an animal that has to bite on rocks and grass in the desert out of hunger, in this freezing time, passes on chicken bones?

Some say animals belong to nature and they have to find their food out there!

Then it occurred to me: We humans think we are aware of everything, not knowing what is going on beyond the dark world we have created for animals! As if we know everything but just won’t look around and watching the universe made of cement and iron, not much left for animals out there, is it?

From that day on, my friend always puts aside the extra food, whatever it is, bones, bread or rice, and whatever else she can think of, in a plastic bag and gives it to me to take with me to give stray dogs.

I went to the beach today. In the distance, I saw a dog lying on the grass. When I looked more closely, it was as if small creatures were beside her.

As I got closer, I noticed that she had 4 cubs. I took the plastic bag out of my backpack, as soon as I tried to open the bag, she immediately snapped a corner of it with her teeth and ran away!

I had to go along to collect the plastic, so I saw her cute puppies up close. Two were eating eagerly, others wait for their mother to eat and come back and give them milk! Lazy little cuties!
