My eyes can’t see, but I can feel the indifference of everyone around me.” — The whisper of a mangy puppy.
On a dusty, forgotten street, a small dog lies curled up, its skin covered in sores and scabs revealing the passage of time, neglect, and a cruel disease: mange. But the most heartbreaking aspect isn’t just its physical appearance, but the fact that it can no longer see. Its eyes, covered by infection and swelling, have surrendered to the darkness.
“My eyes can’t see, but I can feel the indifference of everyone around me.”
She expresses this not with words, but with the weight of her trembling body and her weak breathing.
Every day, this little boy survives among the garbage, guided only by his sense of smell and a deep desire not to give up. No one stops. No one asks. No one offers a caress or a piece of bread. His thin, trembling body seems to melt into the ground, as if trying to become invisible to a world that has already forgotten him.
Fortunately, a group of local rescuers, alerted by compassionate neighbors, arrived in time. They gently lifted him up, despite his cries of pain, and wrapped him in a clean blanket. At the veterinary clinic, doctors confirmed that the mange was in an advanced stage, and that his eyes were severely affected. But there was still hope.
“Even though he can’t see us, when we speak to him affectionately, he wags his tail. That means he still believes in us,” commented one volunteer.
The recovery process will be long and costly, but this little dog is no longer alone. His story has been shared on social media, and many hearts have been touched by his pain. Now he needs medical care, nutritious food, and most importantly: a home where he will never again feel indifference.
