Timid The Brave Dog

Have you ever heard of or seen a timid dog turning extraordinarily brave? Do you know how a supermom dog changed her timid son to an Extraordinary Superhero? Are you bewildered by the title? Shall we explore further to know the answers to these questions?

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful city for dogs named Naaiyur . There lived a very happy dog family named Veingaiyar with mom, pop and a puppy. Veingaiyar family was very famous for their bravery for generations. But this puppy was afraid of anything and everything. We say, “Dog guards our house but this puppy needs someone to guard him”. The puppy was very apprehensive of facing others.

Mrs Dashley, the mother dog was very upset about her puppy being very timid. Despite repeated advice and training, the puppy did not care to change. She even got stricter by not feeding the puppy for his reluctance but nothing improved. One day, she got a magnificent idea to make him brave.

“Do you know puppy, your father was timider than you are?” said the mom.

“Are you kidding mom? I can’t believe this! My father is the most courageous dog in our city” exclaimed the puppy.

“I admit that your father is the most courageous dog in our city now. Do you want to know the secret of your father’s transformation?” asked the mom.

“Please, let the cat out of the bag!” asked the puppy.

Mom showed a beautifully shiny box decorated with lots of precious gems and she popped open the box to show the secret and said, “Look son, this magical Talisman is the secret of your father’s courage!”

“Wow! May I wear this talisman to overcome my timidness too?” asked the puppy.

“Of course, we anyways wanted to gift this to you,” said the mom.

After a few days, the puppy and his parents started an exciting trip to the mountains. They enjoyed trekking and were camping near a small pond. A pack of wolves were staying near the dogs camp and the dogs did not realize this. The pack of wolves picked the scent of the dogs and were camouflaging behind the trees around the camping site. They were waiting for the sundown to feast upon the dogs.

The mom and pop dogs tucked the puppy in between them to safeguard him and also to give him warmth in the cold night. Soon they all fell asleep. The wolves pounced on the sleeping dogs and they started attacking violently. The pop and mom dogs threw their son far away into a bush to protect him from the wolves. They were defending well 9but they knew that they cannot restrain the wolves for long. They were extremely worried about the future of their little timid son.

Unanticipatedly the puppy came from nowhere and fought back the wolves like a valiant warrior. Mom and pop were astonished to witness their timid puppy dashing the wolves like a daredevil. In few minutes, he vanquished the wolves. The proud puppy thought that the instant energy and bravery came from the magical Talisman gifted by his mom.

“Wonderful fight. We have only heard stories about the ‘Raja Raja Chola the Great’ striking like a lightning. We witnessed the same today when you fought bravely with the wolves!” exclaimed puppy’s parents.

“Thank you, mom and pop. It is because of the magical powers from the Talisman” replied the puppy.

“Are you sure that all the magic is because of the Talisman?” asked the mom smilingly.

“Yes, absolutely” confirmed the puppy.

“Son! now comes the truth. All the powers you got is from You alone! There is no magic in that Talisman. In fact, it is not even a Talisman, it is an ornament” giggled the mom.

“Now I understand, there is no magic outside and all lies in one’s inside”, said the puppy.

“According to me, Annaiyum Pithavum munnari Dheivam(Tamil Quote) which means Mother and Father are before the God. You made me realize my power and you are my superhero Mom! I thank God for giving me such a wonderful Mom” said the puppy.

Now we know how the Timid puppy became Brave.
