Benevolence delights the heart and balms the soul. More so, when it comes after a bout of sudden grief. Angelie Agoncillo Mangalidan has realized this of late, courtesy the Dubai Civil Defence.
Twenty-six-year-old Angelie, who works for Etisalat as a sales executive, found it hard to come to terms with the loss of her cat - Chico - which died following a fire that broke out in Al Muraqqabat on July 9.
The blaze was contained in time, and the firefighters helped rescue 25 people. But the poor feline suffocated to death.
Angelie was inconsolable as she felt devastated. But this Tuesday, she got a surprise gift - which went beyond mere consolation - from Dubai Civil Defence.
She was gifted a cat by Major General Rashid Than Al Matroushi, the director-general of Dubai Civil Defence. And it had looks similar to the one that Angelie had lost recently.
The kind gesture was heart-touching. Angelie was moved by the thoughtfulness of Dubai Civil Defence department. It brought her joy and solace, after her tragic loss. She calls her new cat Cheeno.
Major General Al Matroushi says, "It is part of the Year of Giving to make residents happy."
