Why do we cheer for the Underdog?


This week we were blessed to get the opportunity to adopt an 8-month old little puppy, called Fae - the Miracle Pup. Fae was rescued by two angels, who have been rescuing dogs in distress for many years in Bengaluru. Fae is really the cutest and most loving little dog and she has made us her family in just a couple of days!

Fae has had a difficult childhood. She was found by the road-side after an accident that injured her. Thanks to the timely rescue by her two angels, she went through a miraculous series of surgeries & recovered fully in the ensuing weeks and months. When her rescue angels posted a video on various social groups to look for a home for Fae, we got very lucky to receive the message. We responded immediately as we had been thinking about getting a dog for the past few months.

The joy of having Fae join our family has been palpable. It got me wondering about what makes us cheer for the underdog! It is the same feeling that tugs at our heart when we see a human baby fall sick or injured, or an old person feel lonely and struggling for their daily needs, or even a little baby-bird struggling to climb steep steps - remember that viral video?

… We cheer them on, and do whatever we can to support them. I feel that it is the same-ness of our being that connects us at the deepest level of existence. It is the recognition of our innermost essence which is one with the universe.

Often this oneness is covered with the ignorance or Ego. This happens when we are so identified with our thoughts that we fail to see the same-ness in the hustle-bustle of our daily transactional life.

So the next time you feel your heart jump with joy, or weep a tear in compassion, you can smile at this deep recognition of our One-ness! Thank you Miracle Pup Fae for reminding us of our Essential nature!
