Little Bo's Animal Welfare
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Helping Sri Lanka's Street animals

Little Bo was a Sri Lankan Street dog. She had been left to die in a foul drainage ditch by the side of a busy dusty road in Sri Lanka 2003. I was on holiday in Sri Lanka when I found her. Her eyes looked into mine and from that moment my life changed completely. After what seemed like endless negotiations, red tape and heartache I finally managed to get Little Bo safe and well and to the UK where she now lives with myself and her best friend Coco the Cat. Little Bo's strength and courage managed to inspire people both in the UK and Sri Lanka to begin an animal welfare charity to help thousands like her abandoned on the streets of Sri Lanka.

Life as a street dog offers nothing. Classed as vermin by some people they are either born or abandoned on the streets. They survive by eating from garbage left on the road side. Lack of food and water leads to skin disease and mange; secondary infections include ulcerations of the eyes, then blindness. Infected wounds caused by constant scratching leads to septicaemia and open wounds are easily infected with maggots because of the heat. They are beaten, stoned, poisoned, have boiling water thrown over them, and are hit by vehicles and left to die screaming by the side of the road. There are no animal organizations that can be called to help this situation. Sam Noon (Miss).
