一、阅读理解。
Mahendra, a former nior officer at the State Bank of India, talks about his disabled and wounded dogs like a father about his children—with the same love, affection, and warmth. He's a wellknown animal rights activist, the cretary at People for Animals (PFA). But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals. It was this love that led him to establish India's first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities.
It all started in 1998 when, while taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, who bones were en under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his life, until the night when he found it dead. Since then, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. After some time, somebody told Mahendra about PFA, India's largest
animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and, impresd by the work he was doing, Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedabad.
Thus, in 2014, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mahendra to find land where the shelter could be t up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has twentyfive dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, they're slowly healing.
Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are nt back to where they came from if the environment there is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra.
The shelter runs on the money coming from Mahendra's own pocket. There have been some financial crunches now and then but Mahendra is determined that no matter what challenges come their way, they'll fight through.
