Instead, she bore all the traumatic experience with a silent acceptance, waiting for it all to end soon so she can resume her normal life.
She was so stressed that the moment she stepped into the car, she aimed right to hide herself under the front car seat. Once there, she collapsed into a panting heap. And pee-ed 3 times along the way.
Initial part of the car-ride out, she was panting heavily from stress. Soon, she relaxed and moved into somewhat a hypnotic stance, where she was lying very still, unmoving, till the point we reached the boarding kennel, she was still a stunned motionless heap under the car seat. And had to be coaxed firmly to get up and out into the safe kennel where she will stay for 1 month, till we find a good alternative for her life.
How much to bail her out? -- $429.50.
Worth every dollar. Not just because she is a good girl. But more vitally, why should her LIFE be taken from her, just because 'someone complained'. And just cos she was an easy target. Whatever the complaint was, Cho Cho is never the cause of it as she is always silently on her own, in her corner, minding her own business, never approaching the people coming and going from that area.
Keep your eye open for a home for Cho Cho. She's just about 8 months young and smaller-bone than many local breeds. Initially shy, we are certain she will blossom under the care of a good family who will give her a chance in life.
Many dogs are destroyed everyday. Maybe the rescuers could not afford the $429.50 that could buy back a life. Maybe they see no way of supporting the boarding fees of a dog for the next 15 years in the kennels. Maybe they have no hope of the dog finding a good permanent home.
$429.50 to buy back a life.
In the universal scheme of things, how cheap a life has become. $429.50. Some of you had gladly spent this amount on a lifeless handphone. And likely do not use many of the functions you paid for. An object. A life. Where have our priorities been confused?
$429.50 to allow a living being to continue the breath she was given. That no one should have the assumed right to take away. $429.50 to buy a HOPE that Cho Cho can have her very own happy ending.
If you see the value in this, we appreciate your support in her bail-out fee. Every little bit will be encouraging to us and all those around - who hope to uplift the belief that a life is worth saving. If we were all not willing to come up with $429.50, Cho Cho would have been scheduled to be destroyed tomorrow morning. And we would then have to learn to walk with a scar on our hearts that we had turned away and chose to ignore our privilege to help.
