I'm Mutt...I'm a pooch as you know. Like most road dogs... I lost my mom and dad ...I remember that day...There was some rally that you bipedal animals organized......
We were right there.....Watching with awe.... how you stupid beings marched on... without thinking twice about how to compile the things of day to day needs.... FOOD ....such stupid you all are ....then.....it all turned ugly ...some of your own kind attacked you ........I thought if only your kind had strong teeth... even without them , you all started beating and hitting each other .........how odd .. Isn’t it??This wasn’t for territory ...wasn’t for food.... Still you people fought ... and amidst all this.....I got separated ....I could still hear mom howling for me.....Then I don’t remember a thing ... A man fell over me ...he was knocked out ...... you know I'm a dog ... so I have a better perception about these things than most of your doctors ... I KNEW that the guy who fell over me was dead..... and the iron rod that he was holding ... it smashed against my head to I think I collapsed for a while ...... when I came around again ..... I saw.... a bloody image of the dead body ...... ooh... sorry that was my own blood blurring my sight......but how beastly you all are! This man was there on the road ... DEAD... And you all left him behind! Even if he committed something against your “community” (you people even have communities? ...doesn’t look like so!!) Still... you should have taken a look at least but there I was under the body and felt it was my only friend... after I lost my mom n dad... At least it didn’t use the iron rod it still held, to beat me up, as it would have done if it was alive! Anyways I tried to move out from under the dead man but couldn’t ... Then, hey!! I think I heard something... yeah!! ..... Someone’s coming... I yelled as loud as I could.... it was a boy ...running towards my direction... “Oh shit!” I thought... I never liked small kids previously ... they are cruel..... But this day was like no other..... That wretched boy took me out and to my utter amazement ... didn’t even hurt me..... Instead took me home....... I was suddenly feeling hopeful again, but I fainted again.... Too much blood dripped... you see... anyways... when I came around... I was in a shoe box ...there was some cloth tied around my head.... It felt a bit awkward but still ....at least I was safe. Instantly ... I got up and tried to leave the box.... but the boy took me in his arms and went to some other room ... there was a woman there. I figured she was his mother...... I felt like I would be kicked out again.... Actually I wanted to be kicked out because I had a job at hand... I had to find my parents... little did I know I would have to accept this family as my own. So, I was the treated like the other child of that home... I was cared like a baby and I grew up in an atmosphere of love and affection but knowing my luck ... I knew ... it wont last long, these happy times.... yes, turmoil again ....... that day the child was expecting his dad to come home ..... It was about a year after the riot that took my parents away. The child took me out to see why his dad was taking so much time to return home. We walked down the roads. Suddenly, like a storm, all hell broke loose and tension rose again....the riot was raging after a year of hibernation.... The scene was terrible... people were shouting... Someone fell over me again...this time... I knew who he was ... it was the boy.... my hopes... that was nourished for the last one year ... broke again......somehow, I escaped.... by now... I was more of a human... So, like human beings, I left him behind to die and ran for my own life.I had to ....... he gave me life ...but may be my life wasn’t that important ...... my parents were still out there.... THEY were important......... I fled the place ... and you know... in a way I honored the child's wishes... he wanted me to live that’s why he saved me that day... Anyways... life started all over again... The rain came ...whenever it seems like my life is settling down... rain unsettles all I’ve built so far............ I was hungry ... I went to a nearby shop ... and sneaked in... and stole a particle of loaf.... But you know you humans have so much of food but if I take something to kill my hunger ... I'm thief then..... I was shouted at ... A brick flew towards me... full of fear and anger and a bit of shame... I fled ... ran down the road ....suddenly, amidst the curtained rain ... a light punctured my blurry eyesight.... there was a sound.... a honk.... a thud....................................
