Along the way,on SV road-Turner Road junction I bought a bottle of water. A friendly stray came and nuzzled her head against my leg. I played with her for a few and then I went and bought her a Parle-G packet. I played with her,patted and taught her how to "give a paw".
Then I started walking along SV Road again. A few minutes later,I felt something wet on my ankle.. When I turned,I saw it was the dog. I kept walking and gave her occasional pets. She was very friendly.. Along the way,many dogs came sniffing at her but she kept following me.
At Khar,I thought she would stop because she met with a big dog and they were playing with each other.
I was happy she made a friend and I continued to walk. A few meters down the road,I felt a familiar warmth and rubbing against my ankle.. Yeah,it was her.
She walked with me,all the way to Santacruz-No kidding!
While walking in the crowds,she would get a little disoriented but she kept looking for me and when she saw me,she darted towards me. So much love just 'cause I cared for her.
At Santacruz,I got a call from my aunt and she asked me to come to Andheri. I had to go by train and I thought the dog would stop following at some point. But no,she came with me to the ticket counter and followed right up the stairs on the bridge. On the bridge,it was very crowded and she lost me(so,i thought) in the crowd and I was relieved 'cause I didn't want her to come onto the platform. I was very surprised when I saw her come down the stairs towards me,inspite of losing me in the crowd. There were so many exits to that bridge but she came behind me.
I played with her for a few more until my train came. When my train came,I got in. I turned back and her eyes were gloomy. I felt sad but I had no choice.
She was an ordinary stray with regular brown/black patches with ears that pointed outwards..
I never saw her after that day but I know she loves making friends and I hope to see her soon ! :)
Dog's are god's way of making people happy :)
