A VERY TOUCHING STORY ***THE FAITHFUL DOG***

I know of this story a long time ago and it left me so sad and I remember that I cried uncontrollably. I came across it again recently and I can't help but share it here in my long neglected "cob-webbed"  blog.  


"A dog was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it and go out to attend other matters. She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him. One day something tragic happened.




The woman as usual, left the baby in the"hands" of this faithful dog and went out shopping. When she returned, she discovered rather a nasty scene, there was a total mess. The baby's cot was dismantled, his nappies & clothes torn to shreds with blood stains all over the bedroom where she left the child & the dog. Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby.

All of a sudden, she saw the faithful dog emerging from under the bed. It was covered with blood and licking it's mouth as if it had just finished a delicious meal.

The woman got angry and assumed that the dog had devoured her baby. Without much thought she beat the dog with a wood to death. But as she continued searching for the "remains" of her child, she beheld another scene.

Close to the bed was the baby who, although lying bare floor, was safe & under the bed where the body of a snake was torn to pieces in what had been a fierce battle between the snake and the dog which was now dead. Then reality dawned on d woman who now began to understand what took place in her absence. The dog fought to protect the baby from the ravenous snake.

It was too late for her now to make amends because in her impatience and anger, she had killed the faithful dog. How often have we misjudged people and torn them to shreds with harsh words and deeds before we have had time to evaluate the situation?

This is called SIN OF PRESUMPTION Presuming things our way without taking the trouble to find out exactly what the situation really is. Little patience can drastically reduce major lifelong mistakes. Who Are You misjudging right now? Don't think what you think others are thinking, Take time to get the whole truth."



..and so, the moral of the story is .......

  1. My dear flawless,well i pun tau crita ni.dulu2 kecik2 dah dengar dan baca pun ada dlm story books.
    tu la, kita ni cepat sangat buat presumption kan? last2 rugi.banyak kita dgr tapi tak saheh, banyak kita dengar tapi maybe hanya rumours (tapi ada yg betul pun, atau hampir2 betul).so dnt jump into conclusion, cari bukti, check, puas hati baru serang.Ha? serang? tunggu apa lagi serangggggg.he he.
    I have a friend who has been told by many tht her husband dah ada girfriend lain and dah nak kawin pun,tapi dia ni jenis selidik dan priksa. smpai puas hati, last2 dah kawin pun husband dia dgn pompuan tu.too late..sabar sgt pun susah juga kan?
    of course la frust.now husband dia dah came back to her, but dia dh jadi batu to that man..mcm hidup dgn patung cendana..husband dia dh cerai bini kedua tapi she still tk layan husband dia..
    I dnt knw how they live under the same roof like strangers.from a soft spoken lady she has turned to be even softer...tak ckap langsung.kesian.semua sbab apa? men adala punca..segala..jum kita pi ketuk kepala dia sorang sekali Angie? ?

  2. Hi gorgeous IM, eeeeeee....jom kita pi ketuk, ketuk dan ketuk lagi laki2 tu!!!...grrr..kesian kan your friend. I geram dan sedih. I cannot imagine how sad she is, only org yg pernah merasa tau perasaan tu and that betrayal must be so painful. Imagine you believe and trust him,tak nak cek2 pun all the rumours 'cos of her unquestionable loyalty and her trust and her love.. tapi sekarang apa jadi? Siapa yang sakit?

    She now even softer than before, must be because of the trauma she experienced kan. Hope she doesn't take him back. He doesn't deserve her at all. Hope one day she finds someone yang betul love,faithful and not be hurtful to her and that she will be happy, and ceria once again..

    Tu lah sometimes org kata we cannot cepat presumptious and tak boleh jealous or possessive. But I say, whatever it is, we should keep a small part of us, not to 100% trust.. we should always be ready for any eventualities. Esok, if he dah cari yang lain, dah betray our trust, at least we can move on. Nak buat macamana, hati manusia kan, macamana you control dia pun, dia akan jadi unfaithful juga if he is that type. So biar kan, he is not worth it. Forgive him, don't look back and move on.. And yang penting, we do not make excuses for him.
