January 10. “I shall be your slave for eternity.”

“Why do you say that, Button?”

“You don’t know?”

“Was it the car ride to BSPCA?”

“Of-course. After the flying experience with Fluffy, this was the next best experience of my life. Sitting on your lap with the cool breeze blowing through my hair was something else. But I am heart-broken at the same time seeing man’s best friend in the condition they are in. I won’t forget the pain on some of their faces and their cries.”

“At least the workers there take some care. They are fed, taken for walks while the sick ones are treated. You saw how happy they were to see us.”

“I enjoyed feeding them the biscuits you took along. That was a nice gesture but what more can we do?”

“I don’t have a clue. I also realize that feeding them once in a while won’t do a thing except raise their hopes that maybe, someday, we’ll take them home!”

“Surprisingly, both Rani and Mowgli were very well behaved. Rani held my hand and pointed out Haji Ali, the race course, Mahalakshmi Station and something else. Mowgli is still reserved a bit but she’s cute. Once again, thank you for taking me along.”
