Another cute and lucky little Indy!  Shareen wrote in about her Mysore-born pup Raaji: Raaji was found in Gokulam, Mysore, along with another little puppy Nokhi. They were both about two months old.  Some of my friends posted on Facebook asking if anyone was coming to Mysore and whether they could take care of him. I responded that I would take care of him for five weeks while I was there and try to find him a good forever home.  Of course when I got there and started to take care of him, I fell in love with him and started to arrange how to take him home to Toronto, Canada.

She was one of a litter of four brown pups and the darkest and most mischievous of them all. Her mother was a medium-sized INDog street dog, brown too and a slightly darker colour like her. She had given birth to her pups in the safe (and dry, since the monsoons were over in Goa) drain in the market. My friend was not really a dog person and she'd grown up abroad in the Arabian gulf so wasn't really used to or very fond of dogs. A bit scared of them actually. She had had a pet cat, Annie, for a couple of years that she is very attached to. Her dad preferred a dog and his pet dog had recently d...
