Hari (short for
Hariyaali) the canine who beat all odds to survive with stakes against her. She
has been nurtured and treated by a few friends of mine .This is a tale of a
survivor, who is need of another miracle.
Hari was injured in a
motorbike accident at two months of age. She survived due to the love of some of
her very first admirers—kind-hearted garage mechanics, who fed and bandaged her
till the wounds healed. But the accident left her (due to lack of proper medical
attention) with a misshapen foreleg with almost no paw pad. Once she began to
walk again, the injury not only made her limp but caused her paw to rub against
the ground. Out on the rough road, this constant rubbing led to a chronic wound
that bled and pained every time she moved. Life on the streets is not easy and
even a small handicap can severely hamper the chances of survival. Poor Hari
has had three more near-fatal episodes since her accident. The last was when
the wound on her paw developed a septic infection. Each time a lucky
intervention managed to save her.
While her trysts with
life seem miraculous enough for her name, Hari’s tale has a lot more magic in
it. What would you expect a dog that has been through such trauma to be like? Nervous,
unsocial, wary? Hari turns out to be the antithesis of all such fears. She continues
to amaze with her strength and patience, delight with her boundless friendship
and inspire with her calmness of nature, a darling indeed.
For instance, despite
having been in pain for most of her ten months of life, she has borne all the
long treatments with a patience that never ceases to astonish doctors and onlookers
alike. Through innumerable bandages and saline treatments, she has sat with an
almost Zen-like calm. More amazing is the unfathomable trust and love Hari
possesses for humans and dogs alike. It’s like she wants to reach out and
connect to the entire world. And this makes her irresistible to anyone who
meets her. For sure, a few moments with her will melt any heart.
On October 7, Hari’s
problem leg was amputated in order that she may lead a healthier, injury-free
life. However, as the story of her life goes, this too ended up being an
ordeal. The surgery has developed complications which have led to a life-threatening
infection. The skin below the stitches has given way so that a hole in the
chest has left the underlying bone exposed. The medical care to save her life
is underway, but the expenses for her treatment are already touching 25,000 Rs.
What Hari needs now is
another miracle that will save her life and hopefully end this cycle of sickness
and put her on the road to full recovery and a normal life. Please make it
happen by contributing for her treatment or by sharing this on your Facebook
page so someone who can help will come across it.
Please also spread
the word about Hari’s adoption. As a tripod, life on the streets will not be
easy for her. And Hari with her gregarious nature and amazing calmness deserves
a loving home which she is sure to light up with her magic!
