In the coming year, I am focusing on enhancing my mindfulness and gratitude routines. It’s easy to get caught up in what we lack and overlook what we already have to be thankful for. Being a woman in my thirties, I often find myself stressing about reaching certain milestones in life instead of appreciating the present moment as a true gift.
I like to shift my perspective by looking at things from the point of view of our furry friends. Dogs, in particular, teach us valuable lessons through their unwavering care and joy. They have a remarkable ability to find happiness in the face of adversity, focusing on the present moment and the simple fact of being alive. I once saw a puppy with a ruptured eye embodying this resilience and living in the moment.
The injured animal had been involved in an accident that caused a rupture in its eye. Nearby residents saw the distressed dog and took him to a nearby temple to wait for the Animal Aid Unlimited team to come and help. What was remarkable about the puppy was his attitude throughout the ordeal.
Despite the obvious pain from his serious injury, the dog’s tail wagged continuously. While waiting for help to arrive, the brave little pup never stopped showing a cheerful and friendly demeanor, trying to make friends with anyone nearby.
It was really heartwarming and endearing to see the cheerful little boy being so cooperative and calm when the rescuers took him to their center.
The dog, who they called Sunny, truly embodies his name with a positive and vibrant demeanor, despite facing challenges.
We are grateful that even though the veterinarians couldn’t save his eye, Sunny was still able to enjoy the happy life he deserved. Sunny’s resilience can inspire us to stay optimistic during tough times.
Check out the video below, but please note that it contains graphic images of the dog’s eye injury:
