Pet dog abandoned for ‘illicit relationship’ gets a new pal

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A female Pomeranian, which was abandoned by her owner for having ‘illicit relationship’ with a nearby dog, got a new family on Sunday. It was Saji, an employee of the Thiruvananthapuram Zoo, who came forward to take care of the dog.

According to Saji, the dog, now named Pappikkutty, has already become a member of his family. He said that he saw the news regarding the dog and decided to adopt it as a gift to his daughter.
