Mia's
story
(Written/translated
from Dog language to human language by *JeZa*)
After
I was abandoned and left to roam thru streets, while I was having puppies in my
belly, I searched for a place to hide.
A
tree in a green park offered me a place to stay; there I waited for my pups to
be born.
One
nice lady (with red hair) saw me and came every day with her dogs to feed me
and check how I was.
When
workers from a nearby restaurant noticed me and my pups, they called the dog
catchers ("interi" in Serbian).
Those
inhumane creatures killed my puppies; my beloved ones- destroyed my new born my
life. Horridly, all of my babies were killed, clubbed to death-in front of my
own eyes, (I was struggling to save them, but I was outnumbered-) One of my
babies was saved by a man in a gray coat- I never saw my baby again ...
I
was pushed into the dog catcher's rusty truck, and dumped into Ovča facility
(Belgrade City kill pound). There, I was "sterilized" and I still
have problems with my bladder. After that "operation" I woke up in
pain- in a dirty cage, on a concrete floor, without water and without food - it
was very hot and smelly- I was gasping for air. I can’t understand how many
days I have spent there- but I felt that I was dying, slowly- alone-without a
clue as to why it all happened to me ... what have I done wrong? Those thoughts
were all I had.
And
I looked for pictures of my smiling babies-as they were engraved deep into my
brain-they were my water and my fresh air ...
When
a heavy door opened I recognized a voice. She was coming towards me, and her
finger was pointing - at me.
I
knew that it's not allowed to bark "hello" in this facility, and I
wanted to wave to her, but my paws were so heavy and I was so week, that I just
wagged with the tip of my tail.
I
fainted, and woke up - I was still in same cage …
Time
went by, she did not came back.
Time
passes, and passes. It was cramped, around me everyone in fear. Then … I heard
screams, guards and their voices were loud ... My cage friends … died. It was
hidden, it was brutal … and I will never forget it.
Then
time passes again - and again, red Lady came back - embraced me in her arms,
and I was out of that slaughterhouse.
New
place was everything but shelter, as red Lady promised to me. I was starved,
caged, and no one ever looked at me - dogs were humping me; I wanted to run
away - at least in my mind …
Times
pass, red Lady comes and goes; she talks nice things to me, and holds me in her
arm.
I
trusted her all the way, as I had no one else to hold on to.
I
wanted to ask for my survived baby, but I knew she would not understand …
Time
went by, and one windy day, four of them came.
Red
Lady, and three more (one woman and two men).
One
of those 3 was wearing a smile,
She
was going straight towards me.
Her
Voice was full of hope,
and
hands were so warm …
I
wanted her to stay forever,
I
wanted to name her- my MOM.
Suddenly,
we were sitting in a car,
It
was a long ride,
We
drove away, far ... far …
Doors
of my new home opened, ray of love had hit me - right there on the doorstep.
My
new home, my new mom, my new dad and my personal bed (which sometimes my
par-ents occupy when they are napping after lunch, or when they are watching
movie and fall a sleep ... then I have to squeeze in between them …
Mom
& dad love to breathe with me, and to sniff my ears and nose, and my sleepy
eyes ...
In
the morning we all have our morning snack; we cuddle and prepare for new day.
At night I am covered with my love blanket and my dreams are guarded by my
angles.
My
life had changed so much - I am now loved, and I love again.
Things
that happened to me I will never forget, but I will store them somewhere deep
inside, so I can go on with my life.
My
mom and dad are my heart; I feel how much they care for me - we will never get
apart, forever together we will be.
My
life is an example, of how one obvious "the end" can become "the
beginning".
Please,
take action - you can change someone's life - for good.
