There’s No One Who Would Not Love Belo
Belo, the unwanted, neglected little doggy is so ugly. He looks like a little devil from a distance, is squinting like a cockeyed chicken, one hind leg is crippeled, one eye is blinded by a cataract. Taken up home by si Upik he became so lovely, so loved.
When Belo clumsily walking, almost limping, with squinting eyes, moving his head slowly sideways, then gladly stands on its hindlegs to be fondled, hugged by si Upik there’s no one who would not love him. Yet, he is not as smart, could never outdo Hachiko who came every day to the railway station, waiting about 9 years for his master to return who never came back. Yet Belo isn’t less lovable and si Upik would never, ever exchange Belo even with Hachiko.
Suppose we would give him his freedom, he would rather say: “If I could be free to want, I would want not to be free forever if I could stay with si Upik.”
Healthy, happy and free makes even Belo, every one, every creature beautiful, lovable as is a happy coral fish so free in the sea. It would unhappily languish, die in an aquarium.
