Pets teach us the value of being socially responsible


Jackson was rescued in April 2021 and was diagnosed with Distemper, a lethal virus that doesn't have any cure. He was found at Nallasopara Railway Station. Since there was no treatment or cure, they ensured to provide supportive treatment and good food for Jackson. It took a few months to recover and now he has become a member of their family.

 

Hope was found with a maggot wound with more than 80 maggots inside. He was found near a village and seemed to look like a premature baby. He recovered from that wound after it was taken good care of by their family. He was all well in no time, giving them hope, thus the name Hope. He even gave Jackson the strength to get up and be proactive. Two months later, he was adopted and is now living happily with his new family.


Oreo is the naughtiest of the lot. He was only 20-25 days old when he was found with a severe maggot wound on his back region with more than 100-200 maggots infested. His eyes were barely opened and was still in the crawling phase. They brought him immediately to their place and treated him. His treatment was successful and gradually became very naughty. He never got adopted but he did get a big brother named Jackson.

 

The above is the story of a pet lover named Mayur. He believes that pets never let us feel lonely or sad in any instance. They are always reminding us that no matter how short life is, being happy in the moment makes up for everything. Even when we are not well, they do understand and they do give their emotional support and keep us up and bright. Being for each other is a big support and yet underrated. 

“Since we rescued them, their products started entering our racks or cupboards more than ours did. Their needs and well-being started to matter and became more important and felt more responsible towards everything and made this responsibility part of our needs since we are called parents (pet parents)”, shared Mayur.

 

He further added that less expectations in life and living it to the fullest is what we learn from our pet companions. To think for others' well-being too is part of our social responsibility.
