Veeran, a true warrior
I (Veeran), was born under the Maduvankarai Bridge. I was a happy and content puppy until one night, when the stars filled the skies, my brother Amir and I were playing a game of tag and out of the blue, a drunken driver came speeding by. I heard Amir cry out in pain. That was the last time I heard his voice. He had been run over. My legs were run over too. Before I knew it, the men who took care of me (dailywage labourers from Orissa) were taking me, with my legs crushed and hanging and the dead Amir to Blue Cross.
The people at Blue Cross made sure I was taken care of by the doctors. They amputated my left forelimb and my right leg was put in a cast. Before the accident, I used to be able to sprint really fast. Although I can’t run very fast or jump around anymore, I am a very intelligent dog and am proud to say I know my way around the shelter.
I have now recovered and I am a healthy puppy. I would like someone who has already taken care of dogs to take me home. I am toilet trained, friendly, lovable and well-behaved.If you can’t adopt me, you can also donate a small amount towards my feeding expenses. I will be there at the Wacky Mongrel Show for adoption at the CP ArtsCentre, Eldams Road between 3 PM and 6 PM this Sunday, the 19th of February. Other rescued dogs and their proud owners will also be participating to tell their stories. Will you be there?
