After Effect of the Dog’s Trouble

1. The man’s dog is a rare one among

All the dogs in the community, the dog would

Go into the bush, hunt, and kill animals

 

2. And would bring the animals home for its

Owner to prepare to eat and if the dog

Kills a big animal, it would come home to drag

3. Its owner to the animal to be carried home

When it first does this, pulling its owner by the

Edge of his cloth the owner did not know

4. What was going on with the dog and was

Annoyed with the dog and beats it, but the dog

Never relents in pulling the edge of the cloth of

5. The owner until it pissed him off and then

Someone who has relationship with animals

And dogs advised the owner to follow the dog

6. It was then he started following him until

The dog led the owner out of the town to

The wilderness where the lifeless body of the

7. Animal he has killed lied and started waging

Its tail then the owner knows why the dog has

Been pulling him by the edge of his clothe for

8. Hours, since then, the owner never misses it

When the dog returns home and pulled the edge

Of his cloth he knows that his dog has killed

9. An animal that is bigger than it which he

Cannot carry home by itself and would follow

It to the place to carry the animal home.

10. As from this period the owner of

The dog never runs out of meat

And some of the animals he would sell off to

11. Make money if there are still meat

At home. Apart from providing daily

Animal for its owner, the dog is also serving

12. As a source of income for the man, when

People are complaining of no money or

When they run out of cash the owner

13. Never runs out of cash because it would

Always kill animals and would bring them

Home. Intriguingly it will never eat out of

 

14. The animals it killed and was always

Contented with the ones the owner dishes

Out to it at home. In addition to doing this

15. This dog also serves as security for

The community, for it is “policing”

The community, a stranger cannot enter the community

16. After twelve midnight nor 04:30 a.m.,

Except the person has called the person

He or she wants to come and meet in the

17. Community to tell him or her of the delay

In his movement and he would be entering

The community late when this happens the

18. Person whom the visitor wants to visit

Would have been at the entrance gate of the

Community waiting for the person to usher the

19. Person into his house. That is how the person

Can enter the community at that periods of the

Day, else, the person would not enter and would

20. Have to turn back or go somewhere else

To go and wait till the day break completely

The dog has saved the community from thieves

21. On many occasions, this makes the people of the

Community to christen the dog, “community police dog”.

On many occasions had the thieves and notorious people

22. Made attempt at the life of the dog but they were

Unable to kill the dog because the dog hardly eats

Anything outside what its owners were given it

23. The dog who could go into the wilderness to kill

Without eating those things it killed other than bringing

Those home, nothing fascinates it in those things

24. Which those people think they can lure it with

And that was why it could be saved on countless

Numbers of times from being poisoned by its enemies

25. While another dogs and or animals eat those

Poisoned foods prepared for it and they would die

In its stead. People of the community started thinking

26. The dog must have some spiritual power,

But they discovered that it never has something

Like that and what has been saving it was simply

27. Its disciplined life, because it would never

Be moved by those things that they want to lure

It with. Thus, people having known that it hardly

 

28. Eats anything they give it except what comes

From its owner and having seen several of those

Things thrown at it wasting on the ground the

30. People of the community hardly throws things

At it again if anyone wants to give it anything

The person would take it to its owners to help

31. In given it to the dog. People started cherishing

The dogs and saying it is acting like humans.

However, unfortunate thing happened to the dog

32. One day when it went into the wilderness as

Its custom was to kill animals for its master. When

It was lying in wait for the animal it wants to kill,

33. Strong wind started blowing and a branch

Of the tree cuts off and fell on the dog where it

Was secretly lying for the animal. The impact

34. Of the fallen branch on the dog was powerful

It barked loudly, wailed, and couldn’t stand

Again, it crawls to its owner’s house but before

35. It could crawl home it has gotten dark and

The owner has been worried for this. When the

Owner sees this, it pained him and look for hot

36. Ashes and other things they were using in the

Island to take care of the dog, binding the area

With sticks so that it would not be moving and

37. The bones would be able to suture together

The dog would stay in-door for about three months

Before it fully recovers, during this time the owner

38. Started buying meat and running out of cash

And then he knows what the dog has been doing

For him. The people of the community also felt

39. Its absence because people they do not expect

Started entering the community without check,

Without fear. When the dog recovers from its

40 Troubles, it was not as active as before again,

For he hardly goes to the bush to hunt down animals

Again, even if it goes at all it would soon return home

41. Whether or not it kills animals. When its owner

Is chasing animals it would not assist in hunting down

The animal. The policing work of the community has

42. Been abandoned by the dog and the people started

Saying “like man like animal”, as humans caution themselves

After falling into troubles so do animals. The dog being an

43. Example, then they remember the good old times and

Are prayerfully looking forward to the time when they will

Get another dog like this dog in the community.

44. which will keep watch over the community.

Will it ever be possible to get such a dog again

In the community? The community members

45. Reasoned among themselves, while the owner

Asks himself the same question always, can I get

A dog similar to this again in life? Nothing is

46. Impossible people say, but this would be

Near impossible if not difficult he said to himself, for

Hardly could one get good things following itself in nature.
