A huge Alabai lay right in the middle of the road, blocking traffic and causing a jam: one of the drivers approached him and saw something terrible š±š±
Rush hour. The heat was close to forty degrees. Drivers were losing patience: the traffic jam had been standing for thirty minutes ā all because of him ā the huge white Alabai lying right in the middle of the road.
The dog looked like a stone. It didnāt move or react to honking. It just calmly watched the passing cars without taking its eyes off them, as if guarding something.
One nervous, sweaty driver shouted through the window:
ā Thatās an Alabai! It can bite you in half! Who will go near it?! Call the police!
No one approached. Two cars failed to avoid each other and bumped ā glass shattered, bumpers cracked, curses flew. But the dog still lay there. Giant, white, with a piercing gaze.
Suddenly, the door of a cheap foreign car opened. A tall, slender man in a white shirt ā clearly an office clerk ā exhaled and walked toward the Alabai. Everyone held their breath.
The dog stood up. Slowly. Massive paws, shaggy back. It stood on its hind legs. Someone in a car shouted:
ā Thatās it! Heās done for!
The man closed his eyes in fear, but then suddenly noticed something terrible š± Continued in the first comment šš
The man stepped back, but then noticed: the dogās belly was round and heavy. She was pregnant. He saw her paws trembling. Her eyes were no longer threatening ā they were full of pain.
He stepped closer and carefully reached out his hand. And then something incredible happened ā the Alabai quietly lowered itself on its front paws and pressed its nose into his palm.
The man turned to the drivers and shouted:
ā Sheās unwell! Sheās not aggressive, she justā¦ she canāt go on anymore!
Someone called the vet. Someone came out with a bottle of water. People approached carrying towels, pillows, one even brought an umbrella. Within an hour, the Alabai was carefully loaded into a car, and the road was clear again.
But the story didnāt end there.
Three weeks later, the same man ā the one who stepped out first ā received a letter. Inside was a photo: five snow-white puppies in a small cozy shelter.
On the back was written:
āShe survived. And she is grateful. The puppies are waiting for their hero. If you want one of them ā just say the word. We named one after you.ā
