Diabetic Dog

One day a saint from a temple nearby brought a lovely dog (which was a mixed breed of a stray and golden retriever). A handsome guy, but unfortunately was diabetic. Apparently he was fed every morning with a big Ladoo (which was obviously made with sugar and lots of ghee). This 'Prasad' was offered to this dog every morning. One day he fell ill and no medicine would help him recuperate. He was admitted in our shelter and our vet patiently tried every medication to treat the dog, but in vain. On diagnosing, we discovered that it was highly diabetic and that it was incurable. Every day the priest from the temple would visit the dog and spent some time talking to it and petting it. However, one day the dog died in its sleep. This was a sad day for all of us and the priest was uncontrollable.
