Thread: In an attempt to save

It happened some 5 years back in one of the cities in Northern Karnataka. I was a student back then. One evening while taking a walk through the woods i heard a weak wail from the bushes. On folowing the sound, to my suprise i first spotted a small brown pup entangled in sharp branches of the bush. Just after i released him from there, to my horror, i saw another one with a stem half way through its body at the centre of its back. It was tough, but had to separate it from that. Once he was also released among loud cries, i discovered i can almost see its backbone through the gaping hole. It was 9 in the night, so i quickly took an auto held both the pups in each of my hand and rushed to a doc nearby.
the board read, CLOSED....., then from the chemist nearby i found the address of a vet and rushed to him, CLOSED again...., somehow i arranged for the address of an vet cum animal house and directed the auto there, first time after this painful one hour i sighed some relief as his house was full of dogs and cats.. on showing him the conditions of two, even he was not able to help me or keep them... he said he don't have the resources.. dissapointed, i finally moved the auto back to my room.. the cries were getting weaker with each passing minute.. and then, on the way, the driver said: "Saab kyon fikar karte ho, aise saikdon marte hain road pe daily" [why do you care about them, thousands like them die on road daily]... don know what i said to him that time but i know it was very rude.. later i realised, his words were HARSH BUT TRUE... BUT I DO NOT AGREE WITH "WHY DO U CARE" PART.. Now you'll ask what happened to the pups then? The answer is very common, as the driver said.. The one with big wound was dead by morning.
