One of our much loved blind dogs, Deepak, passed away on Tuesday. He had been with us for many years as he was completely blind, perhaps born that way. Inspite of his handicap, he was one of our most handsome males. A spitz mix, he was of a very unusual colour - thick black coat and orange fur around the head and ears.
When we constucted the small garden at Deonar, Deepak became the most important visitor. He spent a lot of quality time in this small patch, patrolling all around, sniffing the plants and settling himself comfortably in the sunny patches or under the bushy plants if he felt hot. He also enjoyed the company of his human and doggy friends, the last being a sweet little female lhasa. His lack of sight did not diminish his own sweetness and he would eagerly come forward wagging his tail and searching aromas in the air if he had a friendly visitor. One could see Deepak "smiling' at these times.
We all wish him a fond goodbye. This little dog taught us compassion and patience, like so many other handicapped dogs and cats at our Centre. We will always love him and miss him. He had an official Guardian Angel on earth and we are sure this lovely dog has a heavenly one looking after him from the moment he left us.
