The afternoon sun bathed the village in golden hues as I was on my duty. The air was filled with the scent of fresh hay, and the distant mooing of cows blended with the gentle rustling of leaves.
Suddenly, a loud commotion erupted near the open fields. Rushing towards the noise, I saw a group of villagers gathered around something. Pushing through the crowd, my heart sank at the sight before meтАФa brown cow, her body covered in dust and blood, lay groaning on the ground.
"It's Gouri," an elderly farmer whispered, concern etched on his face. "She was caught in a bullfight. One of the bulls gored her badly."
Without wasting a second, I knelt beside her. Gouri's breathing was heavy, her large eyes filled with pain. Her left front part of thorax had a deep gash, and blood trickled from the wound. The villagers looked on, their faces anxious.
"I'm a veterinarian" "But let's not waste time. She needs help."
A few men helped me bring water while I took out my emergency medical kit. I carefully cleaned the wound, wincing as Gouri let out a pained grunt. "Easy, girl," I murmured soothingly. I applied antiseptic, then wrapped a clean bandage around her leg to stop the bleeding.
"She needs rest," I told the villagers. "And fresh fodder. I'll check on her every day until she heals."
Days passed, and Gouri slowly regained her strength. The wound began to heal, and her eyes, once clouded with pain, now gleamed with gratitude. Each morning, I visited her, changing her bandages and ensuring she had proper food and care. The villagers, touched by her resilience, showered her with love.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, I found Gouri standing on all fours, her tail swishing as she chewed on fresh grass. As I approached, she looked up, then did something unexpectedтАФshe nudged my arm gently, as if thanking me.
A wave of warmth spread through me. Saving lives, whether human or animal, was a gift. And in GouriтАЩs eyes, I saw a silent promiseтАФone of gratitude, trust, and an unbreakable bond between humans and the animals we share this world with.
