Hello sir, it was a very pleasant to read your post entirely. It was a great deed that you helped a dog who was almost helpless. Indeed, Almighty chosen you to do so otherwise you could adopt the other path as you said.

Relying on God does not mean that a person relies and is lazy to take the reasons that lead to solving the problem, but he has to strive and do what he can, so that God will help him solve his problem.

I completely agree with your this sentence. Yes, there are many people in the world who think that God will help them even if they are staying in the bed. It's wrong.

It is a well-narrated quote that Allah helps those, who help themselves. So, first we have to try our best to solve the problem and then left the results on Almighty as we know that He is the greatest observer, Indeed.

I wish you success in the contest!
