My Pet Story: A stray dog finds her ‘furever’ home

Veerama was found with a very tight collar around her neck which was cutting into her skin; she was hairless and was chased and shooed away by almost every house she tried to get some food from.

My sister wanted to catch her, to at least remove her collar but this dog was too smart to be caught. A group of us got together to attempt this task but to no avail – she ran into the nearby housing area and got into a compound and refused to budge.
