Sometimes I ask myself – maybe I’m in too much of a hurry to live? Maybe I quickly forget my loved ones? What if God gave me this world as a child? He just went and gave me such a gift. Why then can’t I linger at the point of joy?

I always think – what can bring me happiness? If I were given all the money in the world, would I be happier? Would I finish building what I have dreamed of for a long time, since childhood? Maybe I would conquer all the Olympuses, win all the grants? Or maybe all the grievances caused to me would be avenged somehow, that is, what is called “karma”?

I imagined it, thought about it and realized that NO! I definitely won’t.

And now it’s not just a post, now it’s my prayer.

I come to my shelter and understand that I do not feel joy from cleanliness, beauty and healthy, strong pets. I feel bad because I feel it as an orphanage.

You come, walk past the cages and give them Hope. I hate this feeling. In your opinion, giving it to them is nothing at all.

But you are very wrong! How very wrong you are!

At first, they run to your gate with hope – “And me? Look what I can do! I’ll be good! I’m obedient! I eat little!” You just don’t hear it. Or you don’t understand what they’re trying to tell you. Then days, months pass, and when you come again, they may not even come to the gate, because they know that they won’t be taken. They don’t expect anything anymore.

Then years pass. They hide in booths and when you come again, no one even looks out of the booth. Or they look to see if you have left or not. This is how they protect themselves from emotional wounds. We don’t need anything, they think. No expectations – no disappointments.

I experience it with them every time. I hear them, I feel them, I understand them. Do you know what those you took into your home felt, and then, having played with them, brought them back?

They don’t eat for three days in the shelter! They really experience unbearable pain, they feel guilty, they think about what they did wrong.

That’s how it is.

I want to appeal to all of you, people! I understand that there is a war now and it is very difficult for everyone. But there are such animals that they simply cannot live without a family! Help me, please! It is not difficult to repost. And maybe a real person will notice them from your page and several souls will become happy at once. Several at once: a dog and a Human!

And then I will become happier!
