Food was hard to come by, Dawa’s mother realized the urgency of her waning strength and the imminent danger of starving her babies; therefore, she decides to supplement the breast feeding.
One day she led her babies to a garbage dump and taught them to pick out the best edibles from the rotting heap. On that particular day there was an irresistible chunk of pork, which they ate greedily before the other dogs arrived. But Dawa being the smallest and the weakest was not able to climb the heap at first. Then he was rudely pushed around by his siblings that he could not get near that delicious piece of meat. He watched helplessly as the family feasted and soon afterward he watched them foaming at their mouth, their bodies twitching and jerking convulsively. Finally, each dropped like a rock leaving Dawa all by himself in the cruel world dominated by human beings.
