This is Saver

He is a cross-breed dog
who lives at the end of Rainbow Avenue.
He has been passing by for days
together with his human companion
waiting for the free anti-rabies shots
announced to the residents in our place.

My family and I
especially my pup Sweepy
who acts as SuperDog or Community WatchDog
who helps educate and inform people
of the right way of taking care of pets
and of the environment too.

The free anti-rabies shots is just one
of the projects in our barangay (village)
The barangay was able to administer
3,000 shots in our barangay this year!

We just had our free shots this weekend.
And Saver was there.
Together with his human companion.
Saver had his shots without a fuss.
And after taking his shots he left quietly
and walked nicely home with the other dogs.

While the houndsinheaven had a hard time.
That's how they refer to us
since our house's name is Heaven
and we are referred to as 'Hounds'
even if we are actually Mongrels.

We are not used to being with other dogs and people.
That's why when we are taken out of Heaven
it gets too noisy and we get too frisky.
That is the reason the veterinarian
are often called to do house calls in Heaven
for our shots, check-ups and all.
For we can be such a nuisance when taken out.

I hope in time we can be like Saver.
Cool and less frantic.
