I was born as a fuzzy,plump, Golden Retriever and snatched away from my mother and siblings when I was barely 30 days of age and plonked in a cage to be sold, at a pet shop. I was purchased by a man as a birthday gift for his niece.I was cuddled and loved. But I began growing large and of course started shedding my baby fur.For these frivolous reasons, when I was 6 months,I was dumped at a farmhouse with a caretaker, who fed me crumbs and residues of rancid food and who would let me out of my cage, when returning back to his house, in the evenings, to scavenge for food and water. I would shamelessly beg for food from visitors and guests at the neighbouring resorts and drink off the ground-water. This went on till I was two years.On one such evening, I met this woman who fed me so much food that I forgot what starvation seemed like for at least that day. I did not leave her side that night and slept outside her cottage, in the resort. But at dawn, I needed to return back to my cage, else the caretaker would have hunted me down and thwacked me terribly.

But the very same lady came looking for me and did not give up on me and talked to my “owners” and took me home. Due to improper feed and neglect, I was covered with fungal and bacterial infection, all over my body. This lady was none other than my sweet Mummujoo! At home, there was Lui, who was envious initially, but when Mummujoo discussed me sorry state with him and asked him if I could live with them, he walked to me and placed his paw on my head. Mummujoo got me treated and healed with the help of the vet, and a good diet, and of course, the most important thing… LOVE!

Till then I was angry, felt betrayed. I had given up on Love. But Mummujoo and Lui restored my trust in Love and hoomans again.

Well, this is how I met my mother, and  Lui adopted me, and I am with my family.

There are many like me waiting for their fur-ever families. Please give them a second chance at love and life.
