In a village just outside the city, a daily spectacle caught the attention of the locals: a white, slender dog, his spirit crushed, trudging down the road. He appeared oblivious to his surroundings, unresponsive even when approached, with an air of profound sorrow hanging over him, as if he had lost everything. Passers-by couldn’t help but stare at this forlorn creature and ponder what could be troubling him.
It turned out that this dog was not a homeless stray; his home was right there in the same area, where he lived with a couple who were his owners. Their busy work schedules often required them to leave their home for the entire day, leaving the dog named Jindal alone. Those who knew Jindal recalled that he hadn’t always been this despondent. He used to be a cheerful and vibrant dog who constantly accompanied his grandmother, the owners’ mother. However, Jindal’s world had plunged into darkness since the passing of his beloved grandmother more than a year ago.
He couldn’t come to terms with the sudden loss of his adored grandmother. During her funeral, Jindal had sat on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Every day, he ventured outside, regardless of the weather, his heart aching with longing. He roamed the very same roads he and his dear friend used to walk together, silently seeking his kind owner’s presence, missing her terribly.
As time went by, two long years had passed since Jindal had been wandering the streets, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. The vet acknowledged that treating him was a challenge due to his advanced age, but they believed that love and companionship could work wonders. Now, the lady owner began taking daily walks with Jindal, following in the footsteps of her mother, providing him with the company he so desperately needed. He was no longer alone on his journey, finding solace and healing in the renewed companionship.
