Animals can feel the elements just like you and I can. When it’s cold outside, well they’re cold too; when it’s hot outside, they’re hot too; when it’s raining outside, they get rained on too, and here’s a little illustration of caring for our four-legged friends.
It was during the summer in Crimea… Kerch to be exact. And heavy rains poured from the skies. And a little dog was out in those rains, and shivering from the cold wetness. It found some comfort under the awning of a store. At least it wasn’t getting pelted so bad by the rain now… but the cold weather still made it shiver.
Then, after a while, a woman inside the store peered out the front window and spotted the lonely and cold animal. A few minutes later, she emerged from the store, and she was carrying a blanket. She bent down to the sad-looking dog and gently placed the blanket around it. She was hoping the blanket would dry the dog enough to keep it warm.
But, while she waited and talked to the dog for a few minutes, she could tell that the blanket just wasn’t going to do the trick. So she did something most store employees dare not do… she prompted the still-shivering animal to come inside the store with her… and get completely out of the bad weather.
Sometimes, a kind gesture may not quite be enough. Sometimes, it takes opening your arms wide and welcoming someone… or someTHING… deeper into your life. So if you find a stranger or an animal shivering from the cold, go ahead and invite them in out of the bad weather. Chances are… they won’t bite.
