About five years ago, Narendra (Karuna’s Secretary) received a call to rescue a leopard in the Papaconda locality. Our team left immediately for the rescue operation. On their way, near the Byrapuram area, they found a four year old dog lying on the road after being hit by a car. When our team went near her to help, she got scared and tried to hide behind the bushes. Eventually, she realized that we wanted to help her. We brought her to Karuna and took care of her by bandaging her wounds daily. After many months of careful treatments, we had to accept that she would never walk again, as her legs had been permanently damaged by the accident. She became a permanent member of the Karuna family. Her social behaviour shows that she is calm and composed and enjoys the company of humans and dogs alike. We have named her NAGU!
