humanity

Isn't it ironic that the very best of humanity is seen through the love and empathy we show to our pets?

I'll remember you
Monday, August 18, 2025 At home, we’ve always had pets. One would think that, with so many generations of dogs and cats who have been part of the family, my mom and I would already be used to this kind of grief. But it wasn’t like that on the afternoon of Saturday, August 16, just five days before my birthday, in the same year when the eldest dog of the house passed away. For the second time this year, my mother was forced to make a life-or-death decision, literally. And I, once again, stood on the front line, facing the weight of what threatens to destroy what remains of life.

Whiskers and Wags: A Pet Life Story
M Mehran Maya had never considered herself a “pet person.” She liked animals well enough, but her apartment was small, her schedule packed, and she figured she didn’t have the patience for another living being to depend on her.

The day Charlie was put to sleep
Waking that morning, I could hear his faint meows from downstairs. These were not the meows of old, when he would cry for me to feed him his posh cat food. Nor was it the sound of him play-fighting with his sister Lucy, who he loved dearly until her passing from leukaemia many years before.

“The Day I Learned the Power of Saying No”
For most of my life, I was a “yes” person. I said yes to extra work, even when I was exhausted. I said yes to friends who drained my energy. I said yes to family obligations that left me with no time for myself.

The Irreplaceable Value of Live Animal Encounters
Animal-rights activists have recently promoted "virtual zoos" as ethical alternatives to live exhibits, utilizing holograms, 360-degree video, and animatronics.

Whiskers and Wounds
Ayesha was once the melody in a quiet neighborhood of Lahore—the woman whose voice floated through jasmine-scented evenings like a gentle breeze. She taught music at the local school, her laughter ringing out as children fumbled with harmonium keys and off-key scales. Her home, small but warm, used to hum with life: the strum of strings, the soft clink of teacups, and songs passed down from her mother.

The Tail That Taught Me Love
Ariba had never imagined herself as someone who’d come home to a wagging tail and muddy paws. She grew up in a house where everything had its place—shoes lined neatly by the door, cushions always plumped, and the idea of fur on the sofa was nothing short of a disaster. Her parents valued order, silence, and control. So did she—until one rainy evening rewrote everything.
