Helping a Friend who had a Problem

As you all know, our human has made a number of friends, bipeds, quadrupeds including tripawds on daily morning walks.
This gentle friendly black male stray dog accompany certain hikers including our human almost daily. 
It was not as active as before and was not seen on some days.
And when it appeared, our human noticed that it moved slower and had something on its rump. On closer inspection, it looked like some skin infection.
A photo was quickly taken and sent to our human late kitties' vet (yes, we still keep in contact through whatsapp) explaining the situation and that we do what we can for that stray. A certain medication was recommended.
It was not easy as our human's jalopy could not possibly survive the 30km to the vet clinic and so had to order the medication from the nearest pet shop.
Other problems was guessing the stray's weight to order the right dosage and how to make it take the medication. While at the shop, our human suddenly had a brainwave and bought several sachets of delicious wet dog food.
Medication was mixed with the wet dog food in a plate and then given.
It did not eat immediately. Our human left and hoped that it would eat when it wanted.
More than a month passed and when our human saw that stray again, its rump was clear. (Those specks at the rump were sand.)
Happy, a thankful message was immediately sent to the vet for the free consultation.
Lately, the stray came and 'nosed' our human to ask for pets which our human gladly gave.

Oh, this is such a good news story to read on a Sunday when the world news could send one into the very depths of despair. Love (and judicious medication) wins! YAM xx
