The Story of A Dog

Hyper Active.. extreamly friendly.. not only within the family but also with any and every visitor at home that we do wonder what would he be doing if there is God Forbid any theif tries sneeking in. We call him "Bibo". Bibo was a celebration in our locality as well. Every one loved to meet Bibo.



On a tragic day he suffered an accident and suffered a major injury on his head - recovered but lost his eye sight and went blind.



It was extreamly tragic for us as a family to cope with and extreamly tragic for the young Bibo to manage and accept. With madication he came out of the depression and started managing himself a little better. With extra love and care he is just about managing himself.



When he moves from one location to another he follows a track he has got familier too and if by chance there is a new object placed he do stop and try hard to find his way. At times he just sits at a location and he just stares ... he never knows that it is a wall in front of him. It is really painful to see him like that having seen him so hyperactive and loving.



When i recollect his extra ordinary enthusiasm and hyper activity and loving nature i wonder if he knew in advance and wanted to celebrate each moment he had "when he could see".Perhaps he knew that the days to love, appreciate and enjoy each person he meets are so limited with him.

He never barked upon any one.He just loved every one.

My daughter takes care of him the best.. she ensures that Bibo takes his food, combs his hair and plays with him so that he does not feel alone. She has been enquiring about any one way that we could get his vision back.Doctor tells me that it is not possible now. I checked if he can be transplanted eyes from some other dying dog, we can track. No it is not possible, the doctor said. The veternary science is not that developed.

Having seen the pain of a blind Bibo.. where he cannot express himself by any other means the thoughts keep comming back to me now and then.The tragic realities of a blind human are no less.

One such thought is that we kill so many animals a day to feed the non-veg needs of the humans.. these animals have eyes too.. has it ever been evaluated by medical science that these eyes can be transplanted to the needy blind people.

Any ideas.
