RUSSIAN ROULETTE.
Kira has a big friend, his name is Gray. Big - because he is mastino.And because his attitude to Kira is very careful. He gives Kira a lot of tenderness and love. Gray allows Kira to do everything: to take away a toy from him, to run quickly and bump into him, to be disobedient and restless near him, to behave impudently with him. I think, that he knows, how highly Kira appreciates his friendship. Yesterday Gray turned out to have a big problem, a dangerous infectious disease (piroplasmosis). Gray went with his owner to the forest for a walk last weekend. It was bitten by an infected tick in the forest. The owner noticed the symptoms of the illness at his dog on the fifth day. His appetite has gone and his temperature had gone up. He became languid and stopped playing. Blood appeared in his urine. Gray was diagnosed in hospital. It was necessary to give him an injection of a special medicine. The problem was that the medicine could not only rescue Gray, but it could kill him as well. It can cause irreversible defeat of the central nervous system at some dogs. Very difficult problem was put before the owner of Gray. Gray could die without the medicine, but the medicine could kill him. Nobody could give any guarantees. And the time for decision-making was not enough. Each half an hour aggravated the illness. The real Russian roulette! The real one because the stake was Gray’s life. The injection was given. It was necessary to wait a day for the results. Believe me, it was a terrible day. Today Gray is much better. He has survived.
Comments of Kira: I want to hear nothing about it. I want to know nothing about it…
