Deepak Tolani of Sirohi has been feeding stray dogs for 11 years. He selflessly serves by roaming the city daily to feed dogs milk and bread.
Deepak explains that this service started with a simple thought. About 11 years ago, while he was eating at home, the thought crossed his mind that while humans can arrange for their own food, what about these voiceless animals?
The question of who feeds these dogs stuck with him. This single thought gradually transformed into a strong resolve, and he decided to serve these voiceless creatures.
At that time, Deepak was in the business of supplying candies and biscuits. Whatever money he earned, he would save a portion to arrange for milk and bread for the dogs.
In the early days, he would walk through the different streets of the city and feed any hungry dog he found with his own hands. Seeing his selfless spirit and service, other people in the city were also inspired.
Gradually, people started to support his noble cause. Some began arranging for milk, while others helped with bread. This caravan of service grew, and later, people provided Deepak with a scooter. The scooter made his work even easier, allowing him to reach far-flung areas of the city with ease.
Today, Deepak roams the city on his scooter with containers of milk and bread, regularly feeding the stray dogs. A small step taken 11 years ago has now become such an example of service that it teaches us that true humanity is not limited to humans alone, but that compassion for the voiceless is also a crucial part of it.
