Sushi Lou - From Malwani to Colaba

Poor pup had a bad start of Children’s Day considering she was bumped on her snout by an auto rickshaw. Less than a month old, the little thing was crying her lungs out when Ole` and I found her during our morning walkie session.  On asking around, we found that this pup belonged to some other area and street kids played with her and dropped her off in our area as it was their time to go home. The baby was stranded in an unknown area and hurt. 

She was rushed to the rehab center of AMTM where the good doctor Ankita and other members gave her the emergency aid took very good care of her. 

After staying at the center for an entire week, puppy was ready to move into a foster home as she needed further care to be healthy.  



Friendly and adventurous by nature, she settled right in with Deborah Cornelius (the foster mom).  2 weeks into her foster care, Sushi Lou (named by Deborah) returned to her bouncy and healthy shape, making everyone around her falling in love with the ball of fur.

Then came the final step and probably the most difficult one… finding a forever home for the baby. It was killing me to even consider dropping her off back in the street as she would be without her mother or siblings. Plus she was too tiny to make it on her own.

All Hail Social Media!!!!!! After loads of sharing photos online and pleading for a home for her, Sushi’s future father Gireesh Singh contacted us as he was looking for a puppy for the family. He mentioned that he has had pets in the past and would be delighted to include her in the family.  What could be better than the fact that Sushi Lou would get a family who would love her like their own?


It was a bright Sunday when Deborah and I took Sushi to meet her new father.  They were rather pleased to meet each other. She bounced along in her new home exploring all corners and looking for all possible hide outs.


Although when we left her at her new place, we were almost in tears but we knew that she is in good hands now and I hope that she has a long, healthy and happy life…
