As is in Shri Sai Satcharita, by Hemadpant .. Chapter XLII Page 222, 223

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

This Laxmibai Shinde was a good and well-to-do woman.  She was working in the Masjid, day and night.  Except Bhagat Mhalsapati, Tatya and Laxmibai, none was allowed to step in the Masjid at night.  Once while Baba was sitting in the Masjid with Tatya in the evening, Laxibai came and saluted Baba.  The latter said to her - "Oh Laxmi, I am very hungry."  Off she went saying- "Baba, wait a bit.  I return immediately with bread. "  She did return with bread and vegetables and placed the same before Baba.  He took it up, and gave to a dog.  Laxmibai then asked- "What is this, Baba, I ran in haste, prepared bread with my own hands for You:  and You threw it to a dog without eating a morsel of it;  You gave me trouble, unnecessarily."  Baba replied- "Why do you grieve for nothing?  The appeasement of the dog's hunger is the same as Mine.  The dog has got a soul; the creatures may be different, but the hunger of all is the same.  though some speak and others are dumb.  Know for certain, that he who feeds the hungry, really serves Me with food.  Regard this as an exiomatic Truth." 

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
