Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in a lush green valley, there lived a beautiful dog named Max. Max was a friendly and loyal dog who loved to run and play with the children in the village. He was loved by everyone in the village, and many would often stop by to pet him and give him treats.

However, one day, something changed in Max. He stopped playing with the children and became quiet and withdrawn. His fur became dull, and he stopped eating. The villagers were worried and tried to find out what was wrong with Max, but they couldn’t figure it out.

One day, a group of animal rescuers came to the village. They were there to vaccinate the dogs in the village against rabies. The villagers told them about Max and how he had been acting strange lately. The rescuers immediately went to Max’s owner and asked to see him.

When they saw Max, they realized that he had been suffering from ticks. Max was covered in them, and they were causing him a lot of pain. The rescuers immediately began to remove the ticks from Max’s fur. It was a slow and painful process, but they were determined to help Max.

After several hours, the rescuers had removed all the ticks from Max’s fur. Max was finally free of the painful insects that had been tormenting him. The rescuers gave Max a bath and some medication to ease his pain.

Over the next few days, Max slowly began to recover. His fur became shiny, and he started eating again. He was once again his happy and playful self. The villagers were overjoyed to see Max back to his old self.

From that day forward, Max’s owner made sure to keep him clean and free of ticks. The villagers also made a pact to keep all the dogs in the village clean and healthy. Max had taught them a valuable lesson about the importance of taking care of their beloved pets.
