Guddu

One night, a watchman heard the heartbreaking cries of a dog somewhere in the darkness. He reported it to us immediately and that is how we found Guddu.

He was in a terrible state. His body was full of maggots that had eaten deep into his flesh. He was alone, frightened, and in tremendous pain. But his cries had finally been heard.

Guddu was rescued and brought to the Refuge Paws shelter, where our team began treatment right away. He is still recovering, but every day he gets a little stronger.

And somewhere along the way, this boy decided he was done being sad.

Guddu has officially become the naughtiest member of our shelter. He cannot wait for mealtimes and on more than one occasion, he has taken matters into his own paws and made a direct trip to the kitchen to help himself. He has opinions about when he should be fed, and he is not shy about sharing them.

He is happy. You can see it in everything he does.

From crying alone in the darkness to being our cheeky, lovable foodie Guddu's journey is a reminder of why every single life deserves a chance. This cream-colored boy still has some healing ahead of him, but he is surrounded by people who love him, and that makes all the difference.

We cannot wait to see what comes next for him.
