Muha the Courageous

"What goes around comes around."  This idiom usually refers to something bad, but our story is completely opposite.  People selflessly do good deeds and never expect anything in return. But good just like bad, always comes back when we least expect it.

This wonderful story is about very courageous dog. I believe every one of us would like to have a Little Friend like that next to us.

Draman Sidibe, is the medical director of Veterinary Station in small Ural town Irbit. One day he was coming home late from work. He called his wife to say that he is going to be home soon and at that very moment, he got hit on the head with something heavy. Two teenagers tried to steal his cell phone and also demanded money.

All of a sudden, some random dog jumped on the back of one of the robbers. He stood between the robbers and their victim, and didn’t let them get closer to Draman. But the guys were not going to give up their prey. The vigilante dog was left no choice, but to fend off the hoodlums with more bite than bark. The robbers responded in kind by delivering a heavy blow to the dog. However, the dog refused to give up. Again and again, the dog kept jumping on the robbers until they figured out that their raid was a failure and decided to live to rob another day.

Draman Sidibe, a practicing veterinarian, took his shaggy savior to his office to treat the dog's wounds. After washing the blood off his nose, Draman examined the poor doggy. He had a slaughtered paw, several teeth were knocked out. For some odd reason, the heroic dog looked familiar to Draman, but he couldn’t quite put his finger as to why and from where.

Then everything started to make sense when Sidibe was cleaning the dog’s coat. Draman spotted a seam on the dog’s belly - a scar left from gastric surgery. A few years ago, Draman had found this dog on the street. He was just wandering aimlessly about and whining incessantly. After examining him, Draman had discovered that this poor dog was suffering because something had caused its stomach to rupture. Apparently, someone had fed the dog a piece of sausage stuffed with needles. What could possess someone to commit such unimaginable cruelty to a living creature is beyond any rational comprehension. Luckily, Draman was able to perform the necessary surgical procedure in time to save the dog.

Draman Sidibe was born in Africa. After graduating from the Moscow Veterinary Academy, he moved to Ural with his girlfriend. After their wedding, they began to work together and that dog, whose name is Muha, was one of their first patients they had operated on together as a team. They took care of this dog until he got better. Sidibé couldn’t hold the tears when he realized why Muha so desperately rushed to defend him. 

"The animal remembers those who have helped him" - Draman Sidibe.

That fateful day, Muha has repaid his debt to Draman. One good deed deserves another as they say. Look out for your Little Friends. They will definitely do the same for you.
