Meet Karuna Maiya - one of our beloved street dogs in Vrindavan.
Earlier this year, Karuna Maiya’s puppies were run over by an auto rickshaw in Vrindavan’s Loi Bazaar. The loss of her children was devastating for her, and she simply gave up on life. She was laying on the ground waiting to die when Ocean of Devotion’s team found her.
All her bones were sticking out and she had a large wound in her chest, apparently from an attack by another dog. We knew we had to feed her every day and give her medicine to help her survive. But more than that, she needed to know that she was not alone in this world. And so, we sat with her every day caressing her and talking to her.
She was so weak that we had to tear flatbreads into tiny pieces and feed them to her bite by bite. Now her wounds have healed and she is much more energetic. We are delighted to report that she can be seen walking confidently around the marketplace, and she can now eat by herself.
