The only surviving puppy which had endured extreme cruelty while it was rescued from a pile of e-trash under barbed wires inside the Powai campus of IIT-Bombay, has now found a loving home for itself in Andheri.
The other two pups which were also found in a badly injured condition at the IIT campus, had succumbed to their injuries. The survivor pup has been adopted by the family of Dhruv Sharma in Lokhandwala, Andheri (west).
“Pepper is blessed to have Dhruv and his family. From the little interaction I had with them I could see they were genuine animal lovers and compassionate people. Pepper went to the vet Dr Umesh Jadav who treated him and his siblings when they were rescued,” remarked Christina Lobo Jha.
“I am very happy that the pup has now gone to a good home. It was a horrid sight when Pepper and the other two pups were taken out from underneath the barbed wired at the IIT campus. Someone had deliberately left them there to die; but two IIT students had noticed them and informed animal activists,” said the founder of Plants and Animals Welfare Society (PAWS) Nilesh Bhanage.
At the time of rescue, the newborn pups were badly injured as maggots were practically eating them alive. Maggots were literally spilling out from the eyes, ears and genitals of the other two puppies who did not make it. Pepper was fortunate to have lesser injuries.
