I am from a city called Bangalore in India. I once found a dog with a severe wound on its right leg. I took it to the nearest vet-clinic and had it treated. Then I brought it home.

After a few days it occurred to me as if the dog had already been trained. Not long after it was with me, one day I noticed that my dog was no where to be seen. I searched all over my locality, but without any success. I was scared at this point of time that the dog catchers might have caught hold of my dog or maybe it had lost its way back home.

I had lost my hope. I waited for a week. After a week or so, I knew I couldn’t moan any longer waiting for my dog to come back, as I had to continue with my routine. One day when I came back from my school, I couldn’t believe my eyes. At first I thought it was not ‘BINGO’. But then he came running and hugged me in the same way as Christian had. This incident took place nearly one and a half years after he had disappeared.

I realized that even though I had forgotten about him, he had remembered me and had come from god knows where to meet me after 1 1/2 years. This shows that we have an important lesson to learn from animals. The attached picture was the one taken by me before he was lost.
