Tales of the midnight.

well,i stayed over at arun and tarun's place yesterday...No plan or anything..Just kick back and relax kinda stuff ya dig..well anyway,some of the Canadians came over for a bit..good people.

They were there for about an hour or so..again,with no real motives or anything..As we malaysians say,lepak ahh..And that was that,they left about 1-ish..
Then tarun and i decided to take a walk(no homo,just male bonding kinda stuff.lol.).
so yeah we were walking around new bel(pronounced biel for some absolute screwed up reason)road,Mc'ds was closed by then,and the staff were chillin outside the shop,prolly discussing the shortage of tomato ketchup or sumtin(sorry,i am shallow,they were probably dicussing something more stimulating,how the heck am i supposed to know),but poor tarun had a sliver of hope when he saw them and the half closed shutters,he yelled so hopefully at them,to see if was open..and obviously it wasn't..and he was like aaaaw..:(........
poor hungry tarun..

Anyway we turned back and hoped kfc was open or something(it wasn't)
but just before the shop,a group of about 3 men were pointing at something on the road..pointing and talking,and pondering too..so we walked towards them,all the stray dogs were pretty hyped for some weird reason.the main road was devoid of cars,and these dogs were restless,running about and howling..
we didnt bother much and reached the group..then we saw it.
on the ground was this dog,sitting and howling..i didnt make anything much of it.i thought it was just chilling on the road or something and these guys with nothing better to do,decided to pass their time staring at it..but then i noticed something.
blood was all over the road..and streaming out of its mouth..it kept howling so pitifully..it had the saddest eyes i've ever seen in a dog..and i realized something else too..it was not chillin on the road..it was paraplegic.meaning it's hind legs were paralyzed..tarun asked the men wat happened..an sadly,the dog was a victim of a hit and run that happend seconds earlier..it was harrowing to see the dog like that..
i felt so bad for it..but these men,you'll probably find only a handfull of them in india.
they were wondering how to get it off the road to a safer place..because when cars did appear,they had to swerve dangerously away from the pooch..
The first tried stroking the poor dogs head..making it feel comfortable.oh by the way,those gentleman were workers of kfc..anyway,one guy got some water for it in the kfc bucket..it didnt drink..it was probably in shock and pain for sure..
But seriously,ive never seen a dog so tough as that one..when they tried moving its hind legs,it just flinched abit,but didnt squeek..I was traumatized of the thought that the dog was gona bite them in pain,but it didnt..they tried pulling the dog bit by bit by its legs..it was obvious its hind legs were paralyzed cuz it didnt feel anything..pain sensations were nomore.
Finally,one guy physically lifted the dog precariously and laid it on the side walk.
it tried walking,but motor function were nomore too..it sort of, dragged its hind legs.
and fell into a drain.there wasn't water or anything,just a shallow one filled with plastic and stuff..we left it at that,with a heavy heart..
last i heard from tarun this morning,it was still there..weak and possibly on the brink of death..
my thoughts go to you little dog...may you find the strength to survive this cold and merciless world...
