~ My Friend "Jumbo" ...~

 I made him my friend after a long time and as I earned his faith, it made me realise one thing in life and that is “Dogs are actually a Man’s best friend!”

He eagerly awaits my daily walks and he knows for sure that he will get his daily dose of “goodies” – he is fond of sweet biscuits, which he earlier was not – the transgression happened in due course when first time he tasted some of them, licking hesitantly – surely the sweetness bestowed his tongue and he would now seek them every day.

Many a time “jumbo” – a moniker I have given him walks with me endlessly and acts my bodyguard against other canines in the park – somehow, he has started to know my gestures and language – he wags his tail in anticipation of being asked to something – nature has peculiar ways of communication between two different species – the bond is immutable and gets strengthened with each passing day.

Just the other day he was hurt, and bleeding profusely – his sad eyes were telling a compelling story of his fight with other canines of the park – surely it must be power struggle or a fight for supremacy which he clearly lost – he was in pain and expecting to be loved by someone – he didn’t come to have his favourite biscuits not even after being lovingly called by me.

He was angry and started to growl – as if he was angry that he was had lost a kingdom – suddenly he got up and came to me and tried to cuddle me as if he wanted all the love he was missing.

I did what he expected out of me and after some time his mood changed and I was happy that he was trying to get to the same demeanour which I saw him first. His wagging tail was a testimony of his acceptance of my love and talk – I felt good that my lovely friend was back in his shape and form, though the patches of blood clearly showed what he had gone through – love covered all for him and made him forget his lost fight.

Today, as I met him , he was back with a vengeance and was jumping jack and jill as he had got a fortune – clearly he did, as he had a female companion – and he picked up a piece of biscuit and took it in his mouth and showered his love to his female counterpart to prove is love 😊 ..strange is the world of canines… they are surely Man’s best friend – here I should admit, “Jumbo” changes my mood every time I see him, he is a friend in need, always tries to show his love and affection and proves beyond doubt what love is all about….no wonder, it has been proved by medical science that having company of such friends can be super entertaining and enthralling… hope , everyone of us gets love from selfless friends like “Jumbo”…who expectedly waits for you everyday and showers you with his selfless love for nothing in return..
