CHAMP - MY FAVOURITE CHILD

 WELFARE OF STRAY DOGS

Pushpa Palat is an established writer having written for several leading publications and authored books on a variety of subjects. When her cocker spaniel, Champion, passed away he left a vacuum in her life and she therefore began to pen memories of his life just so she could hold onto him for a little longer. The final outcome was the book “Champ My Favorite Child”.

This book is for the young, the old; for those who love dogs and those who don’t and most especially for those who are considering adding a pet to their family.

This book, written with love and about the love of a dog for his family, could not have been a commercial venture and so Pushpa self-published the book and all proceeds of the sale go to the NGO “The Welfare of Stray Animals” (W.S.D.)

W.S.D., standing for The Welfare of Stray Dogs (WSD), is an animal welfare NGO carrying out the Animal Birth Control programme of sterilizing and vaccinating stray dogs in Mumbai. The objectives of this programme are to control the population of stray dogs and more importantly to reduce human rabies deaths. Their other activities include an on-site first-aid programme, rabies awareness & immunization drives, education and awareness programme and adoption of abandoned pets and stray dogs. 

To talk to us about WSD we have Abodh Aras an MBA and a graduate in Hotel Management. He is the CEO of WSD since 2000.
