 CARELESS PET
A stich in time save nine or so the saying goes. Evan was a careless pet owner who
hated to take his dog to the vet. Evan was a man of simple pleasures. He loved his solitude,
his books, and his dog, Max. Max was a robust German Shepherd, full of energy and life.
Evan believed in the toughness of his dog, often boasting about it to his friends. However, his
belief led him to overlook the signs that Max was unwell.

One day, Max started limping. Evan noticed but dismissed it as a minor sprain. Days
turned into weeks, and Max’s limp worsened. He stopped eating and spent most of his time
lying down. Evan attributed this to old age, ignoring the fact that Max was only three years
old.One evening, Evan found Max lying motionless in the yard. Panic surged through him as
he rushed Max to the vet. The vet examined Max and shook his head, “If only you had
brought him sooner, Evan. He has a severe infection from an untreated wound. His immune
system is weak, and he’s dehydrated.” Evan felt a pang of guilt. He had failed Max. He had
been so engrossed in his own world that he had neglected his loyal companion. The vet
started Max on antibiotics and fluids, but warned Evan that it was a tough battle ahead. Days
turned into nights as Evan stayed by Max’s side, praying for his recovery. He realized his
mistake and promised to be a better pet owner. He researched about pet care, learning about
the importance of regular vet check-ups and early detection of health issues. After a gruelling
week, Max started showing signs of improvement. His eyes regained their sparkle, and he
started eating again. Evan felt a wave of relief wash over him. He thanked the vet profusely,
promising to take better care of Max. Max’s recovery was slow but steady. Evan was there
every step of the way, helping Max regain his strength. He realized that his negligence had
almost cost Max his life. He learned the hard way that a stitch in time indeed saves nine.
From then on, Evan became an advocate for responsible pet ownership. He shared his story
with everyone he met, hoping to prevent them from making the same mistake he did. Max, on
the other hand, thrived under Evan’s care. He was back to his energetic self, his eyes
reflecting the love and care he received from Evan.

In the end, Evan learned a valuable lesson about responsibility and care. He realized
that owning a pet was not just about companionship, but also about providing the best care
possible. His experience with Max changed him for the better, making him a more
compassionate and responsible pet owner. And Max, he continued to be the loyal and loving
dog he always was, teaching Evan the true meaning of unconditional love.
