A Good
Samaritan's Story I'd Like To Share
(Sent by Viswanadha Sarma

Hi,
I would like to share my experience in Pune with you all.
I had been to some place near Pune station last week, and found a caravan
hound (or Mudhol hound?) lying on the side of the road ( See photo1). |

She was very week, slender and even could not stand on her feet. I reached
her side and tried to feed her with a loaf of bread (paav as it is called in
Maharashtra), biscuits and even chips (even for
that matter I gave her batata vada as well).
She took little of each and had four small glasses of milk. She came with us
(me and my friends Viswa/Vinod) to the office and waited there as we went
in. We returned after 3 hours and she was waiting at the gate (see the
photo2).

We took lunch and returned with some pieces of chicken, bones (remains of
our non-veg friends� lunch). She reached out and ate the pieces very
happily. Then we went in again and returned by 9 at night. She was not found
and we enquired about her here and there, to know somebody from Satyam
office (God bless him) saw her waiting at the gate (for us!) and took her in
his car.
May be she got good home and can live her life happily.
I am a dog enthusiast and moved by her pathetic situation, I was planning to
take her home if she was there but was constrained by my city life . I knew
that I cannot keep the all-running champion hound limited to my apartment
and was really thinking all the afternoon how to accommodate her. I did not
know about the availability of pet-adopting organizations in Pune. First
thing I thought was, I shall take her to my residence and post an ad in
Dogsindia. If she was not adopted by the unknown Satyam employee, I could
have taken her home with a belief that I can get a safe home for her through
Dogsindia.
Thanks for DogsIndia for providing at
least a belief for readers like me, that we can get a safe home for
old and needy dogs. |

Hip Dysplasia: (Please be
patient with the download time, a high quality image is important!) You
might ask "Do cats get hip dysplasia, too?" The answer is yes, but this
disorder is much more prevalent in dogs than in cats.
 |
Here is a nice
comparison of two hips. The one on the left is a normal hip. You can see
how smooth and round the head of the femur is and how nicely the "ball" fits
into the "socket". A hip with this structure is very unlikely to ever
develop arthritis....unlike the abnormal hip on the right. Here you can see the
result of years of irritation resulting from a poor fit, a shallow "socket", and
a short neck attaching the "ball" to the shaft of the femur. This severe
arthritis is a result of HIP DYSPLASIA. |
