THE DOGS

The first dog — an old, gentle soul who minded his own business — was found dead on 14 May 2026 outside the Cafe Coffee Day outlet, Rajiv Gandhi Salai, Egattur, Kelambakkam. Severe bleeding from the mouth. Signs consistent with poisoning.

The second dog — a nursing mother who had recently given birth to 4 puppies — was found foaming at the mouth and convulsing at the same spot on 15 May 2026. She was rushed to the vet immediately. A blood test confirmed acute poisoning. She fought hard.

She did not make it. She passed away on 17 May 2026.

🚨 4 ORPHANED PUPPIES NEED HOMES — URGENT 🚨

Their mother died fighting. They are now alone.

There are 4 orphaned puppies — all accounted for and safe. In the video below you can see 3 of them running around — the 4th was nearby. They are in Egattur, Kelambakkam, OMR area.

If you can adopt, foster or temporarily care for any of them — please DM me immediately. Every one of them deserves a home and a chance at life.

⚠️ WARNING — DISTRESSING VIDEO

The video below was taken one day before their mother passed away. She was panicking. This is what poisoning looks like. Viewer discretion advised.

WHO HELPED

I did not fight this alone. I received invaluable support from:

• PETA India — who responded publicly and are actively involved in this case
• Blue Cross of India — who guided me through the process
• This community — whose support, shares and messages kept this going

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

The legal process is running. I have been advised to let the investigation proceed independently. I will update this community as the case progresses.

ONE THING I AM STILL LOOKING FOR

Media contacts in Chennai who cover civic and animal welfare stories — journalists who can bring wider attention to this case. Please DM me.

Two dogs are gone. Four puppies are alone. But their mother did not die without consequence.

Every journey starts with a step.

Do you guys use hostel/daycare services or leave them unattended at home? What's your daily cost like when you use daycare? And how much of a hassle is it to find pet friendly transportation services like autos, taxi etc?
