story time FOR THE LOVE OF LAJJO!

This story is based on a true medical case history      David D'silva was an elderly gentleman who lived with his wife and pet dog Lajjo. Since the past several months his health was failing him. Doctors said it is due to sadness. You see, D'silva's children had grown up and left home to make their own life like most children do. But when the youngest son migrated to a foreign land, D'silva could not accept it well. So heartbroken was he that he fell very ill. Doctors almost gave up hope of his recovery. Poor Mrs D'silva she just prayed and prayed. And the pet dog Lajjo, she just would not eat. She sat by her master's bed giving him a lick on his toe or hand when no one was around. And then a medical miracle happened! D'silva began to show signs of recovery, all of a sudden. Doctors were pleasantly surprised. And few days later he was quite well. "You know what brought me to life from near death?" He asked his doctor. Then without waiting for an answer he replied, "Apart from my wife's love it was Lajjo's love and need for me that made me want to live! Your medicine alone would not have healed me." The doctor agreed wholeheartedly. And the D'silvas are still living happily together with their dog Lajjo.  Moral: Pets with their unconditional love can help in our speedy recovery from illness.
