Sheru celebrates ‘rebirth’ in grand style,meets saviour

Sheru was surrounded by nearly 50 of hospital staff,including doctors and ward boys,who helped it recuperate.

“It was a miracle that Sheru survived the terror attack last year. A bullet had pierced him under the shoulder blade,made a six-inch hole in the flesh and got out from the other side. He had lost a lot of blood before admission. We believe he was reborn that day and we’ll always celebrate this day as his birthday,” said Lt Col (retd) Dr J C Khanna,secretary,SPCA.

Khanna said that while Sheru has fully recovered today,his trauma was evident when a crowd gathered around him. “At first he was excited but when people assembled and the candles were lit,he got unnerved. Later,we took Sheru for a long and leisurely walk to pacify him,” Khanna said.
