Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A True Story From Kolkata


--by allen, posted Jul 19, 2007
 

Every day a lady passes my home on the way to the park. Over each arm she carries a large bag which contains many packets. Each packet has a name written on it in pencil. As she enters the gate of the park she is greeted by a number of stray dogs. 

Each one pushes the other away in order to be nearer to her. She puts down each bag on a park bench and takes the packets out, one at a time. Every dog sits an orderly semi-circle, waiting to be called. When each dog hears his name called by the lady it steps forward for its packet. When every dog has eaten, the lady goes away without a word.

This has been certainly pretty generous of people like you to supply publicly what many people might have supplied for an electronic book to generate some profit for themselves, most notably considering the fact that you could possibly have done it if you ever considered necessary. The points in addition worked to be a fantastic way to fully grasp that most people have the same passion the same as my very own to know somewhat more in regard to this matter. I think there are millions of more fun opportunities in the future for folks who looked over your blog.

I had a neighbour who had a holiday home in Spain & went there quite often. There she adopted about 40 stray cats & they became like children to her.
There are so many generous, kind & thoughful people around.
