A Victim of Human Cruelty
Laddoo was found dumped in Civic Centre, Bhilai. A tiny, dehydrated stray puppy who had become the victim of deliberate human cruelty. With no visible open wounds but severe neurological damage, the evidence pointed to a heartbreaking reality: someone had likely beaten her with a stick before illegally relocating and abandoning her far from her territory.
The Hidden Trauma
Initial veterinary examination revealed the devastating extent of her injuries: severe head trauma had caused extensive neurological damage, leaving her unable to sit properly on one side, with significant neck injuries, and completely unable to eat solid food independently. The pattern of injuries suggested deliberate abuse rather than an accident.
A Foster Family's Love
When Anirudh and his family learned about Laddoo's condition, they immediately stepped forward to foster her during her treatment. This decision would prove life-changing for everyone involved, as they provided the stable, loving environment essential for her recovery.
Fighting for Every Meal
Laddoo's injuries were catastrophic - one eye was completely non-functional, the other had severely impaired vision, leaving her mostly blind. Every meal required careful assistance as her foster family had to manually lift her head so she could swallow. They patiently transitioned her from liquid nutrition to solid food as her condition gradually improved.
The Long Road to Recovery
Through multiple veterinary visits and months of dedicated care from her foster family, something remarkable began to happen. Laddoo started gaining weight and strength. Though she remained wobbly and some neurological deficits proved permanent, she began to run around with the infectious joy that only puppies possess.
From Foster to Forever
As Laddoo's personality emerged and her bond with the family deepened, what began as fostering naturally evolved into adoption. Anirudh's family realized they couldn't imagine life without this special little fighter who had stolen their hearts completely.
A Call for Compassion
Laddoo's story exposes the cruel reality of illegal animal relocation and abuse that street animals face daily. Her suffering was entirely preventable - the result of human cruelty toward a defenseless puppy.
​
Report animal cruelty when you see it. Every street animal deserves protection from violence and abuse, and your voice can make the difference.
Laddoo's transformation was possible through the love of a foster family who became her forever home. Consider fostering - you might just find your new best friend.
