A Random Act Of Kindness

Yesterday, as I was driving home after closing the shop, I saw a man bending over by the roadside near the traffic lights. He was wearing a white shirt and bermuda shorts and was holding one of his slippers in his hand. 

Initially, I thought he was a crazy man trying to hit someone with his slippers. Upon looking closer, I saw that he was actually using the slipper to move an injured puppy from the main road to the side of the road, away from the traffic.The man was patiently pushing the puppy while it was trying to snap and bite his hands.

It was only when the puppy was safely 'moved' to the side of the road that I noticed that the man had stop and parked his car nearby. At that time, it was already late at night but there's still heavy traffic at Pelangi Damansara.

Now... how many of us will take the time to stop, park our cars by the side of the road while taking the risk of getting hurt to help an injured stray, guide it to safety and maybe bring it to a vet later?

Good night,
Sany Woo
