[ESP|ENG] MIS MASCOTAS y otros animales STEEM CONCURSO # 5. La historia de Simba🐶 | MY PETS and other animals STEEM CONTEST # 5. Simba's story 🐶

Today I come to tell you a very beautiful story, where it is shown that with love everything is possible. The story of Simba a rescued puppy. Here we go!

Simba is a puppy of the Yorkshire Terrier breed, a little over a year and a half ago he was rescued by my old neighbor from a highway at the exit of my city Cumaná.

For some time, due to the current situation in the country (I live in Venezuela), the abandonment of pets has become a very daily fact🙁. Unfortunately, many animals are abandoned and the people who commit this cruel act excuse themselves by claiming that they cannot keep them or that they are leaving the country and cannot take them with them. I will never understand, much less agree to such a heartless act.

My neighbor Geraldine witnessed how someone without feelings threw the dog from the window of his car and left, the very disoriented dog ran zigzag on the road, thank God 🙏🏻 no cars were approaching at that time.

My neighbor got out of her car, I called him several times but he was scared, after about 10 minutes he managed to approach and take the dog. When she approached, she noticed that the puppy had an injured eye and when she took him in her arms she realized how low he was, although because of his hair it was difficult to distinguish his thinness. That is how Simba came to our building, we met him that day and from there he stole everyone's hearts, although he was very scared he would not stop wagging his tail in the parking lot. 😍

I helped my neighbor and we gave her a long bath, where we noticed that she had several knots in her hair and also a few fleas, he was thirsty and hungry; We gave him food and the little dog cornered under a chair and fell asleep.

Without wasting time, the next day she took him to a veterinarian, who told him that Simba was probably 2-year-old dog due to his size and that the eye injury due to the shape he had had for a long time, they gave him some vaccinations, they prescribed him vitamins and gave Geraldine tips for the care of her diet, the affected eye and also her coat.🐶

At that time the puppy still did not have an official name, that day on the way back from the vet Geraldine heard on the radio the song Hakuna-Matata 🎵, the official song of the Lion King movie, hence the name Simba. Geraldine adopted Simba, she brought him into her home and made him part of her family. It did not take him long to adapt, now he lives happily and surrounded by love, as he became the baby of the house. 🥰

Sometimes the unexpected changes can be strong but finally they always turn out to be positive according to how we face the situation. 💖

Simba was very lucky, thank God he met Geraldine on her way, she was very generous and saved him from a tragic fate if she had continued on that highway. He is currently a healthy and very affectionate dog, a good friend of my daughter Lucia, although sometimes she runs away because he drives him crazy. 🤣

We must make people aware that pets are human beings, with feelings, and with the right to a dignified life, please if you cannot have them, get them a foster home but do not abandon them to their fate.💖

I hope that Simba's story also serves as an example for those people who decide to buy rather than adopt pets, there are many abandoned animals willing to give and receive a lot of love on the streets.💖

This was the story of Simba and my participation in the contest: MY PETS and other animals STEEM CONTEST # 5, I hope you liked it. See you soon! 😊
