This story traces back to exactly a week back
at this time when I was returning from my mundane laundry chores, I found this
really restless but adorable puppy speeding towards me in my apartment complex.
At first I was confused as to how to react to this site, to be scared of him or
to pet him. He stood by me for a few seconds and when he saw another person, he
quickly stormed towards him and did the same what he did to me.
After a few hours, a friend of mine and me saw
this puppy continuously running around and going to people. Seemed to us like
he lost his way and he was trying to retrace his path. His state indicated that
was not well fed and was homeless since quite some time. We got him to our patio
and made him have some milk till the time one of our friends had rushed out to
fetch some dog food. He jumped on the milk and immediately drank three bowls of
it, showing how hungry he was. When he was done having the milk he was hesitant
to stay with us and was trying hard to escape from the patio.
We didn’t allow
him to do so in his first few attempts, but then we decided to let him go.
After this we observed that he continued doing what he did before i.e. went to
any person he saw and stood by them for a short amount of time.
An entire day passed and I was out in my patio
enjoying some good Bloomington weather. My eyes ran passed an unusual site. The
same dog that was there with us 24 hrs back was yet doing what he did the
previous evening. He was dirty and weak. I immediately called my friend an
asked him to get a leash with which we could have some control over the husky.
He was shivering and starving. We gave him some dog food (bought the previous
day) and began to clean him. He was not in a good state and he needed someone
to take care of him. My friend took this cause up and decided to shelter the
dog and bring him back to a normal condition. The Siberian husky was adorable
and he was the most active dog I have seen until now. He spent time with us as
if he had been with us since a few months. He was lovable. He kept on eating
and playing and it portrayed to us as if sleep was not a part of his routine.
He would barely get tired, in case he would get tired he would take a short 5
min power nap again and start running around and playing again.
He was truly adorable and made a place in our
hearts as if it was our very own doggy. My friend put up ads on various forums
about the lost dog and also contacted the Bloomington animal care for
assistance as to what was the right action to take with the dog. They suggested
to keep him till someone would claim him or give it to them to take care and
they would do the needful. Since we had no idea about the history or medical
records of the dog, the best course of action for us was to give the dog to the
animal care and they would do the right thing to him.
He stayed at my friend’s house for around two
and a half days. The attachment with him just grew ever minute we spent with
him and it was very hard to give him away, but that was the best for him. My
friend named him ‘oreo’ since his coat resembled one. Even today we all miss
him a lot and pray that he would be in the right hands once he is adopted.
We plan on checking his status with the animal care and dropping by to get a glimpse of him in the coming week.
