Phantom

In February this year, Devraj and Preeti Khare found an adorable little pup in the slum behind their house. He had a bad wound on his head with maggots in it.

They took him to a vet for treatment. The vet advised them to keep him at home for a week.

Instead the Khares decided to make him a permanent member of their family. And here's how he looked after healing up, thanks to their care.
