Bhagya and her puppies get treatment and survive
Bhagya’s story is a heartwarming tale of community, compassion, and the miracles of life. Her journey began on a fateful day in Khar West, when she was abandoned, heavily pregnant and alone. It was a stroke of luck that I found her that day, standing confused and hungry. Without hesitation, I fed her and whispered words of assurance, welcoming her into our community.
Instructing local shopkeepers and residents to look after her, we all banded together in her care. Even Kalu, another local dog, accepted her warmly. I was away in Delhi when Bhagya gave birth to eight puppies on October 28. Informed by my feeder and Deepak Ji, I instructed them to take care until I returned.
Upon my arrival, I immediately went to see Bhagya and her puppies. Finding them scattered, I arranged a cardboard box and later a cage for their safety. The entire neighborhood, including Mini Anand, Sumit, and others, came together in support. The local shop, Virgo Optics, and a nearby paint shop provided essential help, such as Bisleri water for Bhagya.
As the puppies grew into beautiful furballs, they captured the hearts of everyone. Despite being stolen thrice, we always managed to bring them back, thanks to the area’s camera surveillance.
When it came time for adoption, we found homes for all the puppies nearby, except for one. Remarkably, the new owners regularly bring the puppies to play with their mother, Bhagya, maintaining their bond. Even the one adopted farther away visits every ten days.
While it was a tough decision to separate the puppies from their mother, it was necessary for their safety. Now, Bhagya is content, knowing her babies are safe and loved. This experience was a profound reminder of the importance of caring for animals in need. I urge everyone to show kindness to animals, never abandon them, and support their well-being. After all, animals, just like us, deserve a life filled with love and safety on this earth.
