Photograph taken last Saturday during our feeding rounds |
Our volunteers rushed down to the industrial estate right
after work and we spent about 2 hours searching for her. While we were searching,
we spoke to some workers and many were not even aware that this little girl
hung around their factory on her own, not even the security guards. No one
seemed to care about her. Slightly after, we saw a worker looking around as he
was leaving for the day. We asked if he was looking for her and he said yes,
she would be out soon, he said, although he didn’t know where she hid during
the day. He told us that she had been hanging around that factory for slightly
more than a year and had no fur from the first time he saw her. He said “she
must have eaten something wrong when she was a puppy.”
Volunteers searching for the dog |
Soon the little girl appeared, walking down the road by her
lonesome self, scratching as she walked. She was happy to see us and wagged her
tail but as soon as she realized we were planning to catch her, she started
running around the factory and panicking. She was a little wary of humans,
possibly because no one had ever patted or touched her. Who would? A dog with
no fur looking like she had some contagious disease. After a game of cat and
mouse, fortunately we managed to corner her and leash her. By the time we got
her, the vet was closed so she is presently at a volunteer’s home and will go
to the vet in the morning.
Her eyes showed us sadness and tiredness |
She reeked of oil and her skin smelled really bad, we had to drive with the windows down. The smell of oil on her could be from hiding and sleeping under lorries. She is very scared and refused food and water. She didn’t even want to look at us. Perhaps she knows she doesn’t look good.
Not wanting to look at us |
We will update when we get more details after her visit to
the vet.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. If you can foster / adopt / help with vet
bills, please do so. It would mean a lot to this little girl whom we have named
Bonnie.
