Zooie, She is a puppy from the first litter of Tuffy/winnie. She is a born celebrity.
Among all the pups she was the one who always wanted to sleep next to me, I still remember that she use to jump out of the box to follow me till my bed room and sleep. Every morning I had to put her back in her box with her brothers and sisters.
Then she found a gorgeous owner in a friends friend(she), fortunately she didn't stay with her for long as she was not able to keep her, so Zooie came back to me.
I said "fortunately" because Zooie was destined to be with this GOD like man, in who she found a father who did everything possible to bring her back to life.
Confusing! Yeah.
When Zooie was taken, she was kept like a princess and given ample of love and affection. Her father is my friend, So I was always aware about Zooie and how naughty she was and what she did when going out on walks etc etc
A year back my heart was broken into peaces, when I came to know that She cannot walk anymore, she had "Hip dysplasia" . Doctors said it could be from her parents, but her father and mother are with me so not sure how it happened. Zooie's Father never questioned me.
Zooies Father, Well he is a handsome man and very good friend of mine. His name is AMBARISH KUMAR, he is the one whom I referred earlier as "GOD like man". If you notice the title I have said Zooie is lucky as well, she is lucky because she had Ambarish.
He is a manager by profession and farmer by Hobie. Now you can understand how busy he is, being a manager is not easy neither its easy to be a farmer, with these responsibility there are various problems as well. However in spite everything he has always managed to shower love and affection on Zooie.
I remember when he was out of station and I went to meet Zooie, she was being looked after by the maid. I cried like a baby and my wife was sad as well. we saw Zooie sitting and barking, wanting to play but cannot.
I remember asking Ambi, if he was thinking about putting her to sleep and his immediate answer was "What, Why?" and I saw the surety in his eyes that zooie will be fine its just matter of time.
He use to take her to Vet every week, there were sessions scheduled for her treatment, then he fell back on Ayurveda medicine, as well as did what ever people told him, I know someone told him to boil tamarind leave in water and use that water to wash her back and hind legs, well he did that too and so many other things.
I don't know what helped cure the disease but all that I can see is. She is back on her legs.
Never loose hope, do everything possible you can to help your loved ones.
Thanks AMBI, proud that I have you as a friend.
ravi thats a very moving story...may god bless Zooie
