After an unbelievable journey through one of Nepal’s most devastating floods, two pet dogs found alive across the border in Uttar Pradesh are finally on their way back home. The dogs were found safe near Nichlaul in Maharajganj after being separated from home during the disaster. An Indian resident who found them shared an appeal online, hoping the message would reach people in Nepal who knew them. The story quickly spread, and Nepali animal rescuer and veterinarian Tula Ram Rajbanshi stepped forward to help. Rajbanshi has now reached India and is bringing the two dogs back to Nepal so they can finally return home.
In a disaster that has taken so much from so many families, this small story carries a big message of hope. These two dogs survived, strangers across the border cared enough to help them, and someone travelled all the way from Nepal to make sure they could come home safely. Pets cannot tell us what they went through or how frightened they were, but they are also part of a family that waits, worries, and hopes for their return. A heartfelt thank you goes to Tula Ram Rajbanshi for making the journey and to the people in India who kept the dogs safe and helped their story reach Nepal. After being carried so far from home, these four paws are finally making their journey back. Sometimes, even during the darkest days, hope finds its way home.
