Pet of the Month
MASTANI
THE RESCUED
INDIE

escue is the new breed. When
I say so I have a big smile on
my face. Our story of adopting
our canine daughter Mastani is no
less. To be honest, actually she is the
one who rescued us. We adopting
her wasn’t instant to be honest, it
was more like she adopted us.
She was never the typical Indian
stray dog from the word go. We
live in a 300 acre beautiful gated
community with luxury homes, a
hotel and a club. This is where she
somehow sneaked her way into our
hearts and home. She had invited
herself over several times for some
petting, but it was her goofi nessǜthat
made us fall in love with her over a
period of time.ǜ
One day the gate of our community
was being repaired and she ran out
not knowing that she might not
be able to make it back as the gate
would have been set in place. We
lost contact with her for two weeks
but to our surprise she never gave
up on us, and we on her. We ended
up fi nding her. When she saw all
of us, she was
ecstatic and her
happiness knew
no bounds, as
if it was always
meant to be and we were the happily
ever after that she was looking for.
That day all of us decided that we
were meant to be together. She
rescued us and we brought her
home.
