Every day, people in a village on the outskirts of the city could see a thin white dog walking down the street, looking completely dejected.
He didn’t react even when someone approached him, not even when traffic was dangerously close. His eyes were filled with sadness, as if she had lost everything. Locals mentioned that the dog had been wandering for a long time, even though his weak legs could barely support him. Passersby couldn’t help but be captivated by the poor dog, wondering what he was looking for.
It turned out that he was not a stray dog; His house was in this area and he lived with a couple as owners. As the owners were busy at work, they often had to leave the house throughout the day, leaving the dog named Jindal alone at home. He had not always seemed so unhappy, they said; He used to be a happy dog who was always next to his owner’s mother. Jindal had been devastated and depressed since he passed away more than a year ago.
He couldn’t get over the loss of his beloved grandmother. Jindal sat on the floor and sobbed uncontrollably during his funeral. He went out every day, no matter how bad the weather was.
But he could never find her, he just desperately longed for her. She walked all the paths he and his old friend used to walk together. He could not express her feelings, but her actions conveyed her longing to find the kind owner of her. He missed her a lot.
As time passed, two years had passed since he was wandering the streets and his condition rapidly deteriorated. The vet said it was a challenge to treat him because of his old age, but he believed that love could help him recover, step by step. Now, the owner started walking with Jindal every day, just like grandma used to do. She no longer had to walk alone.
