One of the three street dogs my brother taking care of fell into an apartment well in the backstreet this evening when
two of the three went playing around. There was totally fived dogs gave birth
by another street dog and my brother fed them all, where among two was killed
in a street accident (a year back) and one was adopted by my cousin sister and
other two by my brother. Now, as we moved close by a door next the three dogs
continue to enjoy their company and were all fed almost together. Though it
annoys sometime and has created lot troubles early, they all settled well
around now and get used to the balconies and terrace above our home. Ours is a
three storey residential building and we reside at the first floor and adjacent
to us was my cousins so we let them take space at their own comfort except
coming into the home. In day time they roam on streets and come home only for
night sleeps and naps.
Coming to post, the dog Jack (in photo above) fell into the
well when it went on top of a net covered well, at an old apartment complex in
the backstreet. The apartment walls are very low and anyone can leap into the
apartment and the two dogs (Jack and Black) went playing around there and the
rusted well net couldn’t hold the Jack’s weight and it fell into the well. Glad
there was two to three feet of water in the well and the Jack safely landed on
the water and hold to the wall with its back legs pedalling and the Black
continued to stay back barking at the well, signalled the people about the fall.
Three little kids ran to our house informing us and my bro has been out then,
so on information he rushed to the spot and my cousin and his friends brought a
rope ladder on rent and Jack was rescued safely by my brother who climbed down
a nearly 20 feet well. Jack has climbed
on his shoulder as soon he gets down, perhaps he must have scared enough. Jack is a hefty dog and climbing the rope ladder
along with him isn’t an easy task but my brother’s attachment with them made
possible.
At this place I remember the nursery rhyme –
Jack and Jill… to fetch a pail of water… from the well up the hill and Jack
fell down… here the Jack fell inside the well rather down the hill! Jack is a calm
dog and much responsible among the other dogs and never been rude or threatening
but his bodily and furry look may create panic to by passers. Jack brought its features from her mother whom I guess
was a cross of Himalayan Sheep Dog because Jack resembles the look of the
breed. Glad he was rescued
and I hope he won’t go there again.
