A Regular Morning

On a regular morning, I was heading to buy milk. I noticed a small street pup attempting to enter the highway. The sight was heart-wrenching, and I knew I had to intervene.

A Failed Attempt

I tried to shoo the pup away from the highway, but my attempts were futile. The pup entered the highway, oblivious to the speeding vehicles. I was reminded of a childhood incident where we lost a street pup.

A Rescue Mission

I blocked the path with my two-wheeler, grabbed the pup, and moved it to safety. The pup was dirty but adorable. I left it at a safe distance, hoping it would stay away from the road.

A Second Rescue

On my way back, I noticed the pup had almost reached the edge of the road again. Another gentleman quickly reached the pup and lifted it to safety. We acknowledged each other's act of kindness.

A Profound Realization

As I reflected on the incident, I realized that I never considered what the pup wanted. Maybe it had a reason to cross the road. I intended good, but was it really good from the pup's perspective?
