Piku: The Tripawed Wonder

Piku, the name itself, sparked curiosity. It wasn't just the unique moniker that piqued people's interest, but the indomitable spirit of the little pup who defied his disability.

Piku, a Pariah pup, was one of seven siblings, but only four survived. Fate, or perhaps human negligence, had dealt a cruel hand to the litter. Kannu struggled with a damaged ear, Pucchu had lost most of his tail, and Golu's paw was ravaged by maggots. But it was Piku who bore the heaviest burden. His front right paw dangled uselessly, yet he navigated the bustling streets with an uncanny sense of purpose as if it were the norm.

A local vet treated the injured pup, but the monsoon rains threatened to undo their progress. Piku and his brothers were placed in foster care to ensure their recovery. While his brothers made good progress Piku required more intensive care.

A kind-hearted soul, already a guardian to two rescued dogs, welcomed Golu and Piku into her home. She tended his wounds, arranged vet visits, and showered them with love and attention.

Piku, however, needed further intervention. A surgery to amputate his dead limb was scheduled. Despite the daunting procedure, Piku's resilience shone through. He hobbled around the clinic just hours after the operation, a testament to his will to survive.

Now, a tripawed wonder, Piku yearns for a forever home. A home where he can receive the love, care, and understanding he so richly deserves.
