He Was Found Alone and Whimpering. This Newborn Puppy’s Story Will Warm Your Heart.

When a woman named Ali Larsen decided to spend five months in India, she never expected she would be bringing home a precious gift. One day as she walked across a mushroom patch, she heard an animal whimpering.

As she looked around, she discovered a newborn puppy with his umbilical cord still attached. His mother abandoned him after he was born and his eyes were still closed when Ali found him.

She named him ‘Kaalan’ which is the Tamil word for mushroom and she loves her little mushroom. She documented her entire voyage as she brought little Kaalan to her home in Toronto, Canada, and every photo will warm your heart.
