Sudden dead of two dogs on a freeway
Full of good energy this morning, driving against the traffic in the sunny California morning I had this feeling of"this is going to a great day" when I saw in the corner of my eye something on the shoulder. It was a dead brown male pitbull and then few feet away was another dead pitbull grey and white with a collar on. In the fast moving traffic there was no time to do anything and I realized that I cannot help them at this point anyways.
As a dog lover I immediately was in tears and I was only praying for that their dead was fast and merciful and that they did not have to suffer for too long.
It also made me think if they were related and if they were one of those best bodies wandering around the neighborhood neck to neck all the time running everywhere together and looking for a trouble. Or if they were a couple of lovers sharing everything together. Maybe they were siblings and knew each other as the best and only friend in their lives. Whatever the case was they have followed each other to their dead together and hopefully they are chasing some heavenly squirrels in the dogs' heaven. And so I constructed their life story in my head in many variations; all of them involved happiness from their inseparable bond. Maybe one jumped out of the truck in the slow traffic and the other follow and maybe they just got lost in the night I do not know, but the thing that strikes me is that they were there together. And made their dead just another part of their lives lived together.
I am not thankful for those dogs to found their dead on the freeway, but I couldn't get the dog love out of my mind for the rest of the day. We as humans are not really build to be by our selves neither. Obviously we cannot reproduce without other person and for those that cannot find the perfect match there are still pets: dogs, cats and sucha to keep us a company. And then to be precise we promise each other "Until the dead..."without realizing that in many cases that will be the case. And those dogs have not have any vows to be spoken but they were there together.
No one is an island for himself...I hope I've got that right...
So life is short and I made sure that day I will do my best to find a peace with a friend...
And...so...I did...
