Meeting Sheru the great dog which survived 26.11.2008 CST firing of Ajmal Kasav



Thanks to the yeoman services of  Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital , Parel which takes care of animals , this poor dog which survived the onslaught of  Ajmal Kasav has been given a nice shelter to live and its day to day management costs are being donated by kind hearted people.
Sheru , named by the Hospital authorities, is very cheerful and greets the visitors and absolutely friendly . We had been to the Hospital recently and the above video was taken by me .
