Today, as we were driving back to the countryside, we came across a puppy wandering dangerously close to traffic. Concerned for his safety, we decided to bring him with us. This little guy, now named Pingan, seemed scared yet remarkably obedient. His fur was dirty and matted, so we gently cleaned and combed it. He appeared both sleepy and hungry, prompting us to offer him food and assess his overall health, although our resources were limited.
Pingan, as we called him, seemed comforted by our presence but startled easily at the sound of other dogs barking. He sought refuge in a corner, looking both frightened and lonely. We tried offering him milk powder, but he refused the bottle, so we opted for a bowl instead. Tomorrow, we plan to quarantine him or prepare a safe cage to protect him from any harm.
Despite his initial fear, Pingan quickly warmed up to us and showed a lively spirit. It’s heartwarming to see him play and interact with us. It’s as if he’s looking to us for comfort and care, perhaps even viewing us as surrogate parents. We’re committed to giving him all the love and support he needs, especially knowing he’s missing a leg and will require extra attention.
In these early days together, Pingan has already touched our hearts deeply. We’re hopeful that with time and nurturing, he’ll heal both physically and emotionally, becoming a cherished member of our family.
