A Happy ending for POPPY

 

 

Animal SOS Sri Lanka

 

Hardly recognisable as being a living animal, this puppy was found collapsed

in the middle of the road on the outskirts of Colombo in Sri Lanka. (

October 2008 )

 

By chance Kim Cooling and her team from Animal SOS Sri Lanka where

travelling along the same road, experience told them to stop and check out

the small object that they saw in the road ahead.

Many puppies and dogs are seen wandering along the roads in Sri Lanka, for

many the struggle to survive becomes too much and they just lay down to die.

 

1,000's of puppies and dogs in Sri Lanka continue to collapse in the road in

this manner, resigned to die. Some believe that they lie in the road in

desperation to find help or to end their life hoping to be struck by the

passing vehicles that rarely stop.

 

The girl puppy was named 'Poppy' by Kim's team and was immediately rushed to

the Kandy Veterinary College for blood testing and treatment. Poppy was

emaciated, distressed and suffering from multiple skin ailments including

mange. After being treated, Animal SOS Sri Lanka quickly homed her to a

known loving and caring environment.

 

I am pleased to report that we have been told that Poppy is recovering well

and has even started to grow some ginger coloured fur again. ( end October

2008 )

 

For Poppy, due to the work of Animal SOS Sri Lanka, there has been a happy

ending. For thousands of others the battle to survive continues, puppies and

dogs just like her will still be seen collapsed in the middle of the roads

in Sri Lanka.
