STRAY DOGS

The stray dogs in the streets wander without a reason, trying to find food, water and shelter. Sometimes, one good and sensitive passerby they give some food, water in the summer and more rarely a caress.   

Caress is the more difficult to be given, because most of people are afraid of dogs and in additional of the dirt that these dogs are carrying.

It is said that when a dog comes straight to you to caress it, in a life before it was your dog, your beloved pet.

Oh! Lord! These wet, moaning eyes.

“This is a dog’s life”, someone will say.

Yes, it is, I agree. This is life, this is nature.

But, maybe sometimes, between all these stray animals you would notice some dogs that their eyes are saddest than the normal and a sorrow is clear inside them.

They are the dogs that no one, never have caress them. Not even one time! They pass their life, without food, shelter and without the feeling that a friendly hand leaves.

Some people are not far from these dogs. They spend their life without a kiss, a smile of a lover, a caress, a warm touch, a little priceless gift, an open hug when anxiety and fear conquest their life.

Maybe they have food (maybe not), shelter, money, clothes, but…

Yes I know, some other people they don’t have even this.

But in the societies with the luxury psychosis, the Feng Shui mentality and the “think positive” theory ruling our life, this theory according to which we have to be all the time happy like the junkies and to erase every bad thought of our mind (sorry, guys, but “The wonderful sunshine of a wonderful mind” is just a movie, not reality), the “caresses lack” is the real loss. 

I just caress every dog I see in the streets.
