Her brother was dead, she was half dead. Tina.
I was visiting my guinea pig Yak at the vet. He had just had surgery, and the vet was taking care of him. As we went to put him back in his cage, we saw a scrawny puppy in the room. Her stomach was on a towel, she was so skinny and beaten up, but still she looked adorable.
“That’s Tina” one of the assistants said. “She was handed over by Sean Casey Animal Shelter. Her brother died.”
“Who would hurt an animal?” My mom said. “What a horrible thing!”
I didn’t talk, I just knelt down and pet Tina. I could feel every bone, and see her spine. She started licking my hand and trying to stand and come next to me. She couldn’t. I felt so bad for her. “It’s okay, you don’t have to stand. Stay down. It’s okay Tina, stay down,” I kept telling the pup.
After we left the vet I couldn’t stop thinking about Tina, and the pain in my mouth. ( I had oral surgery that morning.) Anyway, I just hope Tina gets better. I don’t know why anyone would intentionally hurt an animal. They’re such beautiful creatures, but i guess that’s just goes to show how messed up our world is.
Good luck Tina!
