While they were away, their oldest dog, Garbo, was bitten by a baby cobra at their farm in Kalote. The only vet around treated Garbo like he treated cattle and he almost died before an SOS call to their lawyer, Sridhar Gorthi, brought them a saviour in a stranger, Sameer Vohra, who not only saved their dog, but ended up becoming a good friend.
This 38-yr-old is running out of time to raise funds to feed his family of 400 rescued animals during summer.
Kalote Animal Trust came into existence in November, 2017. Although the shelter officially became a trust only in Nov '17, Sameer Vohra, the founder of the shelter has been rescuing animals since 2002.
