I saved a dirty, miserable animal, thinking it was just an ordinary puppy… but at home, after washing it, I realized in horror that it wasn’t a dog at all, but… 😱😱
I work at a chemical manufacturing plant. The factory stands almost at the edge of the forest — from the gate to the river it’s only about a ten-minute walk. Often after my shift, I take the path home that runs along the river.
That evening was overcast, and a light mist hung over the water. I was about to turn toward the bridge when I noticed something strange near the riverbank — a lump of mud, grass, and fur.
At first, I thought it was just trash, but suddenly the lump moved. I came closer… and saw that it was breathing.
It was a small creature, soaked to the bone. Its fur was matted with dirt, its ears drooped, and its eyes were barely open.
— Poor puppy… — I whispered.
