Meet Gopal 🧡

I was a street dog with the most horrific head wound you could imagine. In the tropics wounds get flystrike and that’s exactly what happened to me. Flystrike, also known as myiasis, is a painful and potentially lethal condition where flies lay eggs on the fur, which then hatch into maggots that burrow into flesh and feed on tissue. My head wound was extremely smelly and crawling with zillions of maggots. I was hanging onto life by a thread and was lucky enough to be taken to the kindest place ever back in 2020- the Animal SOS Sanctuary.

 

The angels there value lives like mine and worked so hard to save me, when others would have given up.  

Apart from my scar, which reflects my journey, I have healed well and spend my days hanging out with my friends at the sanctuary.

​

I have been through so much, but my strength and resilience shines through.  

I am a good boy. I am a survivor.

My name is Gopal. Will you sponsor me please?   ​
