Write an essay describing the dog and relate what you did.

A MANGY DOG

I could see that it had not eaten for many days. It was just skin and bones. It was mangy. It lay in the shade of an abandoned shophouse. I suspected that it had probably belonged to the owner of the shop.

I estimated that it could be at least ten years old. I calculated that in dog years, it was about 70 years old, since each human year of age is equal to seven years for a dog. Its skin was full of patches of baldness and sores. Its eyes reflected a look of hopelessness. I think that it probably felt that there was nothing left to live for, having been abandoned by owners who had looked after it from the time it was a puppy, and whom it had loved and perhaps guarded all its life. It looked at me with its sad eyes as if pleading with me to do something. I felt very sad but I was not sure what was the best thing to do.

I looked about me and saw a restaurant selling nasi padang. I checked my wallet and saw that I had about two dollars. I went up to the restaurant and bought a packet of rice with some curry and fish. Then I mixed the items and walked over to the dog. It lay still as I placed the rice before it, then it opened its eyes feebly. It stuck out its tongue and licked the food. Then it stood up and ate heartily and, as if to thank me, gave a few feeble wags of its tail.

It warmed my heart to see the dog eat and even though I was hungry at the time, my hunger disappeared. As soon as the dog had finished eating, I took a hard, adult decision: I called the SPCA on the phone. The ambulance arrived in 20 minutes. The attendant thanked me and then led the dog away. It did not struggle. I knew that it would be put to sleep immediately. I wondered if the dog knew and if it did, did it understand that what I did was for its own good? I walked home sadly, thinking how cruel humans are towards our animal friends. I wondered also if dogs go to heaven. I hope my friend did.
