This is one of my favourite photographs from the recent camp 😍 before we share details of the camp, I want to share a short story 🙏
In November while we were out on a hike, we came across this female. At the time she was skin & bones and we found out later that she had just had a litter of very hungry puppies 🐶
We went to meet the owner and talked about the spaying procedure. They were interested so we promised to take her at the next opportunity.
We tried calling them before the camp, but their phone was not reachable (common in rural Nepal) so on the day of the camp we went on a motorbike to look for her. When she saw us she came running to greet us wagging her tail 😍 she looked much better than last time! Sadly no one was at home (rice planting season just started 🌾) so we couldn’t inform her owner. We decided to take her anyway. As her surgery was late in the afternoon and we couldn’t reach her owner to check if they are back home we decided to keep her for the night (we live in a leopard 🐆 prone area and didn’t want to take her back while she was still groggy) and were planning to release her the next morning.
In the morning, when we were about to take her back we received information that someone had come by boat to pick her up 🐕 ! Both the dog and owner were so happy to see each other 😍
We wish them happy & healthy lives together ♥️♥️♥️ 🐾🐾🐾 for us it was so heart-warming to see their bond and to know that she is cared for 🤗🤗🤗
