It’s a tale of two friends Jay and Veeru, who were thrown out of their house after Jay developed cancer. Moved by their tragic tale, a Good Samaritan adopted Veeru, and Jay was admitted to a hospital.
The Asha Animal Foundation volunteers who picked up the two friends — Veeru, a Pomeranian; and Jay, a Cocker Spaniel — were profoundly affected by the dogs’ state.
“We got a call that two dogs wandering near Sindhu Bhavan off SG Highway were in need of some urgent medical help,” said an Asha Foundation volunteer. “We found that the Cocker Spaniel was seriously ill; the Pomeranian had been taking care of him.”
He said that as they were not strays, the foundation informed Vastrapur police station about the dogs. Police officials came to the spot and allowed the foundation volunteers to take the dogs to their centre.
“We examined the dogs and found that the Cocker Spaniel was suffering from cancer,” the volunteer said. “We assume that the dogs were abandoned by their owner. It appears that the two were on the streets for several days and while the sick dog was unable to move the other one took care of him.” The volunteer later named them Jay and Veeru.
Jay was sent to a hospital as his condition was critical. However, Veeru had a different fate scripted for himself.
“Later in the day a man walked into our Hathijan animal centre,” said Jagdish Vaghela of the foundation.
“He said that the he had spotted volunteers picking up two dogs near SG Highway and wanted to know about them. When he was told about the dogs he expressed the desire to adopt Veeru.”
The foundation later facilitated the adoption and Veeru walked out the centre with a new owner. But he seemed to miss his dear friend whom he had been caring for.
