I think everyone believes in the power of time to develop feelings; after spending a lot of time together, it becomes hard to part ways. Similarly, animals can be like that to us. After spending a lot of time together, you become their everything, their emotional anchor, and even their savior.
In a rural area, an elderly woman lived alone. Her husband had passed away early, leaving her with a dilapidated house and a large yellow dog. From then on, the dog became her companion. Knowing this, the dog stopped wandering off and stayed by her side without leaving her side. The old woman relied on the dog deeply, cherishing it like her own precious son. Grateful for the old woman's care, the dog did small things for her, such as guarding the house and being a dutiful little helper.
One day, Grandma suddenly collapsed, her consciousness fading. The dog licked her face but received no response, which terrified the dog. It immediately ran to the yard, barking loudly, but no one came to help. Finally, the dog ran to a neighbor's house, grabbed their trouser leg, and dragged them inside. The neighbor understood what the dog meant and rushed to help. The dog dragged three people to their aid, and with their combined efforts, they got Grandma to the hospital. The dog followed the car, running all the way to the hospital. Time ticked by...
People waited anxiously, but the light suddenly went out during the rescue, and their hearts finally settled down. The doctor said, "The surgery was a success, thanks to the timely arrival." The neighbors were completely relieved because the old lady had always treated them very well. She would often visit their homes and share her homegrown produce with them. The neighbors treated her like family, so they agreed to take turns caring for her. The dog was also very anxious; its owner, with whom it spent every day, had collapsed, and it wanted to go in and see what was happening, but it was refused entry and chased away.
The neighbor knew the bond between the dog and the grandmother well, and felt bad seeing the dog being chased away. So, the neighbor came up with this idea: to hang a sign around the dog's neck that read, "Grandma is in the hospital, I'm going to stay here with her, don't chase me away."
The neighbor told the dog that Grandma was doing well and had come over. After a period of observation, she could go home. The dog told the dog to wait at the door and not wander off. And so the dog stood guard at the door.
The dog's daily vigil drew the attention of many, who assumed it was seeking help and approached to check on it. However, upon seeing the words written on the dog's face, passersby burst into tears. Those few words struck a chord deep within the human heart. Even an animal knows gratitude, yet how many people neglect the elderly?
They spread this touching story among themselves, and it gradually became known to everyone. Passersby praised it, saying things like, "Good job, dog!" After the security guard learned about the situation, he stopped chasing it away and often brought it food. However, the dog couldn't eat anything. Anxious, the dog gradually became tired and listless, but it still stayed at the hospital entrance.
The dog stayed right outside the hospital and wouldn't go anywhere. Wishing Grandma a speedy recovery.
Dogs are the most intelligent animals; they can sense your joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. They also have a grateful heart; they remember the kindness you show them and will slowly repay you, though we often don't notice. We should treat our pets and others with the same kindness we show our grandmothers. That way, when you are in trouble and need help, they will unhesitatingly help you. What do you think, netizens?
