Every morning, when my father left for his office, a whole pack of five or six stray dogs would follow him down the street. I used to stand outside our small one room house and just watch them, always wondering what it was about him that made them do that. These dogs barked at everyone else. Seriously, every single person who walked by would get barked at. But the moment my father appeared, they would fall completely silent. It was amazing to see. “Dogs never bark at people who give them food or are affectionate towards them.” He once told me that. Such a simple sentence. I did not truly understand the deeper meaning of what he said until many years later. You should never leave or forget someone who has helped you through your difficult times. #LifeLessons #FamilyStories #ChildhoodMemories #Gratitude #UnconditionalLove #PersonalStory
