    I found this boy on the streets of Delhi, India yesterday. It was a very late night but we saved his life. His rescue deeply moved me… (1/8) 🧵

  2. #2

    I had spotted him out of a side window when driving. He was being beaten by a man with a stick. When I got to him I feared this was him dying (2/8)

    I was terrified to jump out of the car. I was the only white face and it was a very poor area. I’d been warned not to. A girl I was with called Anisha burst through the men and filmed them. With her bravery I decided to follow (3/8)

    A huge crowd formed. I was obviously worried about rabies and the dog was incredibly bitey with pain. To be honest I was terrified we’d get beaten next. (4/8)

    We fashioned a makeshift muzzle and got the dog out of there. He was in agony and about 8-9 months old. If I’d been looking out the other window I wouldn’t have seen any of this (5/8)

    It was an hour to the vets. I knew he was in extreme shock. Managed to get water into him and calmed down. We had absolutely nothing with us. He was in agony (6/8)

  7. #7

    We spent the evening in the vets. No broken bones but serious head injury. He’s neck muscles have been beaten to a pulp so he could no longer lift head. With medicines he calmed down and had pain relief. We think he will survive (7/8)

    His bill will be covered in one of the best vets. He will get an MRI scan if needed in coming days. I already have a place sorted for him and he will never go back on the streets. His name is Bhola (8/8)
