Trolley Tintin: Alike other few dogs Tintin was a victim of human aggression. She used to guard her locality, and that became botheration for few people. One day they beat Tintin very badly, Tintin got hurt on her spine and became partially paraplegic. In this condition Tintin was brought to our shelter. Doctor clearly said that she won’t be able to stand up for ever, because that injury had damaged her nervous system. Normally worldwide this kind of dogs is put into sleep. BUT NO, IT DIDN’T HAPPEN TO TINTIN. Tintin had enough courage to face the challenges. Slowly she started trying to fold her hind legs then gradually taking the support of her hind legs she started hopping and moving all around. Seeing her sprit the girl who got Tintin in our shelter arranged one wheel cart for her. Now whoever comes in ASHARI, finds Tintin either hopping around or running with her trolley.
