I came across this little lady on the sidewalk yesterday.
Though i stopped my car close to her and was clicking her picture she was unperturbed. she was aware of my presence. In fact she was very aware of all that was happening around her. But never once did she take her eyes of whatever that she was guarding.
I was curious. What was she guarding so intensely that she refused to take her eyes off it?
It turned out to be a locked up, dilapidated, tin-mobile shop. I guess the owner was on leave. And I also presumed that the dog belonged to the owner.
On closer scrutiny I discovered that there was some kind of vehicle inside the tin shop. Only the wheels were visible. And it was this that the dog was guarding.
I waited for around 10-15 mts. And she never once took her eyes off her target. Unquestioned loyalty. 100% responsible for the task given -even when the owner was not around. WOW!
Such loyalty! And I thought, if only we had one such loyal person in our lives -we'd be the luckiest on this earth. Unquestioned loyalty and love.
And as I was driving back realization dawned. I'm sure the four legged friend didn't say to herself -if only I had one loyal friend, my life would be set. Instead she said to herself (I think. Or it might be in her genes) I WILL be the most loyal friend no matter what happens, no matter who is around or not, no matter whether I have one or not....
Mmmm...now that's something to think about.
