I'd like to share an incident of my life which has turned me into an optimist..No matter what situation I am in now, good or bad, I always feel God must have something good planned that is why this has happened to me....I'd like to thank housing.com for giving us such a lovely topic to write about.


I love animals and always try to contribute towards their welfare...I used to volunteer at an animal shelter....One day another volunteer brought a badly injured dog to the shelter...He had been hit by a car and left on the road to suffer and die...

He was afraid of everyone and would not let anyone come close to him. We had to use anesthesia so that the doctor could operate on him and bandage his wounds.After he woke up he would not eat anything and was very aggressive.

I felt extremely pained at seeing the poor emaciated dog who had felt no love in his life and was extremely afraid of humans.He must have gone through a hell lot of pain and suffering in his life. I took it upon myself to help him out....

Everyday I would sit near to where he was kept for atleast half an hour at such a distance that he would not feel threatened by my presence. Initially he did not like my presence at all and would never touch his food when I was around. In a month his wounds had healed completely and he had started eating well.. Even if I was around he would eat. I slowly started moving closer and talking to him. In some time he actually started letting me pet him and his fear of humans stared fading. 

It was a week after that he came and sat on my lap and licked my face. That is a day I will never forget in my life. From a scared weak dog our sweet dog had turned to being friendly and happy. That day I truly started believing that with a little love and hope there is nothing in the world that cannot be achieved. That day filled me with optimism and now I believe that small acts of love and kindness are all that is needed to make this world a better place to live in. I will always continue to do my part to make this world a better and happier place to live in, I hope that you all join in on this... :)

Now, our little bundle of happiness has been adopted by a loving family and is called by the name Hope..... :)
