This beautiful dog is the latest animal to be rescued from the streets. She is a mix - part Great Dane and requires three (3) kg food a day. Who in India can afford to feed a dog this amount of suitable food? So the result is this type of dog is always found and sometimes seen with the 'owner' in a state of positive starvation.
She has to be carefully fed at our Deonar Centre where she is housed. We give her food four times a day as her stomach has virtually disappeared it is so empty.
Besides this we take her for small walks around the Centre, which she enjoys. She is suffering from a mild case of mange and this is being treated. We are waiting for the day when she puts on weight and looks more like a genuine Great Dane.
These are magnificent dogs who really need enormous amounts of food and exercise, which they seldom get as pets.
Point to Ponder: A full grown well-fed Great Dane is the size of a small couch.
