Vulnerability is the biggest enemy of trust
Hopping with joy all over the cage, the little white puppy was ready to play. He had many visitors but none was ready for that because the white pup was a burden without a leg.
One day our pup had a visitor who decided to take him home. This made the day for a dog full of joy as it jumped, leaped and wagged it's tail.
But the pleasure quickly faded away when it's owner started the angry abuse.
Days passed and our pup was grown up to be all skin and bones with all the beatings he had to face.
Scared with the blows and out of hope our dog decided to run away. But life as a stray still wasn't kind to it. Strangers would beat him and the kids would throw rocks.
Then came a fine day for our dog came in quite a while. Looking for food here and there our dog sat near a tree in the shade to take a breath but soon he was alarmed by an uninvited visitor.
It was a little girl with cookies in her hands. She stretched her arm and offered to our dog a bite. Leaning forward she even tried to touch it.
But for our dog it was another danger as kindness was always a stranger. So he growled and jumped, knocking the girl on the ground and ran away as far as it can leaving the little girl crying in vain.
