BOBO

Pets are a kid's best friend. Small kids learn a lot of good things and tend to be more responsible once they are made to look after pets. With this intention in mind, my sister and brother-in-law brought a puppy for my nephew. He was affectionately named "Bobo".

My nephew was very excited from the day Bobo entered the house. He used to finish his studies quickly just so that he can play with Bobo. He used to obey every instruction from his parents so that he gets permission to take Bobo out for 5 minutes. He used to have his food on time so that he can eat with Bobo. In short, things were going as planned.

Some of Bobo's pictures -- http://picasaweb.google.com/wagle.shivanand/BOBO?authkey=gxgK2LmDv4E

Then the vet gave an injection which was not supposed to be given until the puppy is atleast 50 days old. From that day, the pup was never the same. It lost its apetite, it lost its cheerfulness. No more jumping, no more fun. Soon it started bleeding from its mouth and in a matter of 2 days, Bobo was no more. Just like that.

I never had the chance to play with Bobo and saw the pictures just once. But still, it was a shock from which I am yet to recover. My sis and brother in law are still shocked and cry often. Nephew is very young to understand all this and has been told that Bobo was missing his parents so he has been sent back to his parents. But he asks my sis everyday about when he will be back.

Why did this have to happen? Cant find an answer to this Q.
