We Found Raja!!!!
We were on the sixth day of desperately looking for Raja, and it was getting hard to stay hopeful…
Then, yesterday morning, we got a call. A young man who was jogging on the beach heard a dog whimpering near the tetrapods. Most people would have kept running, but he stopped to check. When he looked down between the gaps, he saw a dog — and he realised it was Raja. He remembered the poster he had seen just the day before, and that’s what made him connect the dots and call us…
We still don’t know how Raja ended up so deep inside the tetrapods. We had checked that area many times and called out to him, but somehow we couldn’t find him… Maybe he was lost somewhere else for a few days, and when he finally managed to come closer to home, he hid in the same tetrapods he passes every day on his walk to the beach…and in the process of finally finding some safety, he dived in and injured his leg…unable to jump back on the beach…
This whole experience reminded us how powerful simple posters can be. In a time when information/images are shared on WhatsApp and our eyes are always on screens, we actually may remember very little…. But when someone notices a poster on a pillar, near a stationery shop, or on a building wall, they’re usually not on their phone. They actually look at it. They remember the face. That memory can stay with them. That’s exactly what could bring a lost dog back home….:)
