Who is an unsung hero? They are the type of heroes who do good deeds but get little or no appreciation for it. Even the tiniest things they do are worth praising for. They perform selfless deeds for the betterment of the world. My unsung hero is no Superman but she does save families. My hero is my aunt.
My aunt is a veterinarian. She and her team of professionals save the lives of thousands of animals. I believe when somebody gets a pet in their life, it becomes a part of their family and my aunt helps these animals, protecting not only the animal, but in numerous ways, also their family. She not only focuses on the animals with a home; but also those without a home.
There was a time when we were on a road-trip and she treated an injured puppy that we came across while on our journey. Abandonment of animals is something that should not be done. My aunt strives to give such animals shelter and treatment under her supervision and practice.
Illegal breeding of animals is a very pressing issue in today’s times. My hero has filed cases on such breeders and put them behind bars for the crimes they’ve committed. People, mostly in rural areas, to gain attention and influential power, abuse animals and post these videos on social media. Some of these animals have been brought to her and have been treated and rehabilitated. They now live a much happier and healthier life. My aunt has treated dogs who have played an important role in wars as well.
Everyone has their own idea of a hero. Some may think it's their mom or some may think it’s a soldier but she is mine. She inspires me to be a better person everyday. My love for animals has grown immensely because of her influence. Some day, just like her, I also aspire to help treat animals.
