If the ground is too hot for your hand, imagine their paws
Everyone’s posting about power cuts because the heat is unbearable right now.
Yesterday evening, I saw this stray dog lying in dirty drain water on the roadside.
Not because it wanted to.
Probably because the pavement was too hot to sit on.
We complain when the fan stops for 10 minutes.
These animals survive 45°C heat with no shelter, no clean water, and no way to ask for help.
That image genuinely stayed with me.
This summer, please keep a bowl of water outside your house, shop, or street if you can.
It takes almost nothing from us, but for them it can literally mean survival.
Sometimes compassion is not some grand gesture.
Sometimes it’s just remembering that they’re trying to survive the same heatwave too. 🐾
