Elder Dedicates His Last Days To Abandoned Dogs

We often tell you moving stories of human generosity towards animals. Normal people who decide to take care of foundlings, cats and dogs that are abandoned or in distress. They voluntarily dedicate time and money in the name of altruism and respect for animal life. This time we tell you about a beautiful story set in Argentina. Here, an elder has decided to dedicate his last days to stray dogs.

This generous pensioner was discovered, almost by accident, by a young reporter in the coastal town of Viedma. And this is his story.

His last days, given to the animals

The boy who made this moving story public, Pablo Cortez, gathered his testimony in this letter :

“I like to drink mate, every day, sitting next to the statue of the Sunken Ship, here with us. One day, I saw a gentleman on a bicycle, in a green jacket. A simple old man, but about which something struck me.

Behind him, he carried a bag full of dog food. From a distance I saw two abandoned dogs approaching me. But, recognizing that green jacket, they started running towards the old gentleman. The man stopped his old bike, opened the sack of feed and gave a handful of food to the two foundlings.

I approached the man to offer him some mate and we introduced ourselves. His surname was Queravita and he claimed to be descendant of a family of Italian emigrants. He told me about his life and thus revealed to me that every day he walked the coast to feed those he calls his puppies. His entire pension was spent on this, buying food and medicines for the stray dogs of the coastal town.

Over time he had become a true expert and, knowing that after two days of fasting, dogs get distemper, its implication became almost a moral obligation. Then he asked me a few questions about myself, but everything seemed of minimal importance to me, in the face of his extreme generosity.

In short, a man with a really big heart. An anonymous, a simple person, probably with few resources, but capable of making such a noble and unique gesture “.

When man decides to help animals

This elderly gentleman has decided to dedicate the last days of his existence to abandoned dogs. Fortunately, this is not an isolated gesture. Fortunately, others around the world also choose to act in favor of nature and help animals in difficulty or problems as they can.

Some, for example, open their homes or gardens, transforming them into real reception centers. Without forgetting the numerous volunteers who work and collaborate with kennels and kindergartens for animals. Humility, good feelings and selflessness raised to the highest power.

Among the most striking cases, we present these two on which it is worth reflecting:

• The millionaire with a heart of gold. Wan Yan was a 29-year-old boy who had managed to amass a good fortune. Since he lost his dog, I start looking for him, realizing the huge amount of animals abandoned and left to die on the street, of hardship. He decided to found a non-profit association dedicated to the reception and recovery of dogs, cats and other species. He invested every penny in the project, effectively losing all wealth.

• Tekis. This is the name of a Greek man who managed to save over 200 abandoned dogs from straying. The economic crisis has prompted many people to get rid of pets, which have become practically a luxury. Going against everything and everyone, he quit his job and sold every property to give these animals a refuge and a future.

These three moving stories teach us that there is still hope for humanity. As long as there are people like these three heroes, we will be able to look with optimism to the future of a humanity that often forgets the fundamental link with nature and its animals. These men set an example for us all. Obviously their gestures are striking, but in everyday life it takes much less to make themselves useful, each in their own small way, starting with the cities in which we live.
