To celebrate his tenth birthday, Alex goes on a trip with his parents and sister Innaya to a Treasure Farm in Bikiteybottom. They stay in a luxurious houseboat with four deluxe cabins, a sitting room equipped with a modern fireplace and a private deck. Alex found his cabin perfect with white flowing curtains, a comfy bed and a fancy red chair. There was a barbecue station on the back deck. However, his favourite place was the upper deck, as he enjoyed the picturesque view. Completely mesmerising!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It was his birthday morning, and he was having his me-time in the upper deck by sipping his all-time favourite Oreo shake. Engaging with the horizon and capturing the view, he saw a puppy drowning in the river and struggling to breathe. He got scared that the puppy might die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex screamed, “Help, help, a puppy is drowning.” He rushed down and came out to the shore. His mother, who is too fond of dogs, also rushed to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “Alex, rush and get the safety net and lifebuoy rescue tube,” says mom. Alex rushed and followed the command. With the life-saving aids, they managed to pull the puppy out. Mom holds the puppy in hand and tries taking out the inhaled water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cInaaya, Inaaya, come out soon. Get a towel and some cookies,” says mom. With care, they pat dry the puppy and comfort him. Mom gives cookies. He gobbles all as if he was hungry for many days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “Oh goodness, who will take care of this cute little angel,” says Innaya. He has fluffy white fur, floppy ears, cute little curly tail with black spots. “Where is his mother or family. I hope he is not alone,” says Alex. They get moved with his innocent face and pleading puppy eyes. Mom answers, “Alex, Inaaya, don’t worry. We all will take care of him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex happily jumps and says, “This is awesome, as he can be my birthday gift.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wow, what will be his name?” asks Inaaya. Everyone gave their names but settled on Alex choice, Oreo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom took Oreo inside the houseboat; Alex made his bed in one corner of the cabin. Oreo energetically jumped around, affectionately wagging his tail. Until now, he lived an abandoned life, and now he has a home with caring and loving family members around him. Alex prepared eggs with milk for Oreo, and mom felt proud of him for taking care of the puppy. Alex was thrilled to have a friend like him, always by his side. He could cuddle him. For others, it’s a dog, but for Alex, Oreo is a companion and family, and there’s trust and loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, Alex’s newfound friends come over for his birthday celebrations. Indeed, they were excited to see the puppy. They all found him curious, observant, naughty, and adorable with expressive ears. One of his friends noticed that he was whining and not barking, which was quite unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the party ended, Alex came to sleep in his cabin. Oreo followed him, came near his bed and said, “Thank you”. Alex was speechless. His joy was to infinity that God has sent him a uniquely gifted fur-baby who can talk to him. Alex and Oreo chatted the whole night like buddies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day, Alex asks Oreo, “What do you wish for yourself.” Oreo sadly says, “We strays live a very cursed life, people hit us with a stick, they pelt stone on us and hate our sight. They don’t want us to live in Bikiteybottom.” Alex feels disheartened and teary-eyed. He responds, “Coexistence! We all should work for and value.” Alex pledges in his mind to write to the Governor seeking support in saving animals and safeguarding their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oreo licks Alex’s hands, cutely cuddles him, and asks, “My saviour, what can I do for you. You may share your wish too.” Alex, says “Aww, your presence completes the vacuum of true companionship in my life. Let us make others happy, and you become a therapy dog for downhearted.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
