Dream of mother

My dog attacked a yellow bird and bit its wings off. I decided to rescue it. At first, I was afraid I had killed it, but I put some water on its head and I healed it. My mother was really praising me, saying things like " no one is as kind as you". The feeling in the dream was somewhat afraid that I would have to let the bird go once it was better, but mostly a sense of accomplishment, joy, and relief in having saved the bird.
