Three years ago our team visited Sri Lanka for an elephant research trip, and on the way we stopped in the area called Nuwela Eliya, which is the coldest city in Sri Lanka. In the market through fare, where thousands of people pass, we saw a little puppy wagging her tail at passersby, inviting people to take note of her. One by one people rushed unaware of the pup's plight. Our team stopped to pat her for awhile, but we also were in a rush to go. She began to follow us, and quite far, until we lifted her up and returned her to where we first met her. She followed us again and again, until her determination won our hearts. We decided to ask people who walked past to adopt her, to take responsibility for her care. When they saw that she was female, they lost interest. Finally we asked our driver, Thushara, to look after her for us. He agreed. We bought a new blanket for her and bathed her, turning our luggage into her bed while she stayed with us in the hotel. I think that this was the first night that she can sleep warm and peaceful. We named her Lek Lek
Today she stays happy and healthy with our friend in Sri Lanka. Thanks to all friends who are part of this story. We can always change one life from our care. If you are looking for a pet, please adopt, and do not buy. Also, please sterilize your 4 legged friends. Thousands still await a loving home.
