It was quite
late on that night when we returned from Viviana Mall Thane after my birthday
celebration. I cannot overfeed myself and hence we had to parcel our dinner
leftovers from the restaurant (honey garlic chicken probably). When I alighted
from our car, he was standing there, looking at me wagging his tail. I have
seen him many times near our cluster with the other stray dogs, playing and
enjoying. At that moment (and from my past experiences), I knew we would never
have the packed honey garlic chicken and it would occupy a small, discarded
corner of the fridge & then after a week or so it would find its rightful
place in the garbage bin. So I opened the lid of the parcelled food and offered
it to him. He glanced at the food and then at me and proceeded to satiate his
hunger.
