Several pedigree dogs found abandoned on city streets Recently, the veterinarians attached to the Animal Birth Control for Dogs (ABCD) programme of the Kochi Corporation found two dachshunds and a pedigree dog among the strays brought in for sterilisation. They were among the countless such pet dogs being callously abandoned on the streets of the city.
“Those dogs were far from being terminally ill or old. One of them just had a mammary tumour in its nascent stage, which was removed during the course of the surgery, and both were given away in adoption. We keep receiving many such high pedigree dogs found abandoned for the flimsiest of reasons like a minor disease, simply because their owners cannot bother to spare time for them,” said Sonika Sathish, veterinary surgeon, ABCD.
