One night i was returning home from Gurgaon . I was drunk and was driving 100+ kph.When I reached Delhi cantt. area, i saw a dog crossing the road. I could not apply brakes on time and hit her. I could feel my car moving over her body.
I didnot feel anything at that time. I reached home and slept. When i woke up and the alcohol’s effect was gone, i realised that i had killed a dog last night. I picked up my bike and reached the spot.
There she was, dead. Her intestines were protruding out of her belly as she was runover by a few cars in the night. There was blood all over the road.
I felt ashamed of myself of what i had done under the influence of alcohol. I was about to leave when i saw a puppy on the roadside, just 2 meters from the body. He was sitting there continuously staring at the body.
I realised that maybe i had killed his mother last night. And maybe he wont be able to survive by himself without her mother. I took him home.
For almost 24 hours, he didnot eat anything. We gave him milk, he did not drink a drop. After 24 hours, he started eating and drinking. Next 10 days, he did not interact with anyone. He just sat at the same place. We tried our best to comfort him but nothing helped.
It took him 4 week to behave normally . He got comfortable with every person in the family. He statrted playing with us.
8 weeks passed and he started sleeping on our beds. And manipulating us to give him more and more food. Everyone in the family was happy that i brought home a puppy.
After about 3 months, we planned to go to a relative. The whole family was going so we thought that we should take him as well. I took him to the car and opened the door but he won’t step in. He started barking , tried to unhook the leash . I tried everything to get him inside but he didnot step in. I picked him up and kept him on the seat and he jumped off immediately. At first i thought that maybe because his mother was killed by a car, he is afraid of one. I had to stay at home with him because i didnot want him to stay alone at home.
Another week passed, and i again tried to get him in the car but failed .
A year passed and i knew that my Doggo dont like to travel in a car.
One day, a relative of mine came home. They had a dog. My doggo really loved their doggo. He couldnot stop himself playing with the other doggo and they played for about 4 hours without a break. In the night, they started leaving and when they were getting in the car, my doggo jumped into their car . He wont let the other doggo go. It was completely confusing for me because at once, he is afraid to get into my car and here , he refused to step out. I picked him up and brought him outside but he wont stop barking. I was also relieved that now my doggo’s fear of getting into a car is gone.
2 weeks passed and again , we planned to go out . When i tried to get the doggo in, he wont step in. I picked him up and made him sit on the backseat and closed the doors but he wont stop barking. He was behaving crazily scratching the seats with his paws and trying to bite the front seats. He was not comfortable in the car so we took him out.
One day, i booked a taxi for my mother as she was travelling alone to a relative’s place. As soon as she got into the taxi, my doggo jumped into the car. He also wanted to go with my mother. I was angry and confused at the same time. The taxi model was the same model that i drive. But still my doggo wont go inside my car but is happily jumping into other cars.
That day, i realised that maybe he knows who killed his mother that night.
I AM SORRY DOGGO!!
