Rafiki means friend in Kiswahili
This pup and two other dogs, likely her parents, were trying to cross a busy road when she got hit by a car. We happened to be walking to work along the same road and came upon this scene as a man kicked Rafiki across the road, bunting her 5 feet into the air as she screamed. When we got up to the scene it was obvious that the car accident had broken her leg at the very least.
We carried her to two different vet establishments where the vets were not equipped to deal with her, and then took a cab to the 3rd vet. We thought that she would make it once her leg was fixed, she was so feisty.
As soon as he checked out her eyes and gums I knew that she was not going to live- she was bleeding out internally and the emergency vet treatment that might have been able to save her life in Canada is not available here.
Instead she was humanely put to sleep.

Ohhh poor pup. Sam, only you could have me in tears when you're in another part of the world. I can't believe that guy kicked the poor pup but I guess when dogs run as wild as they do a run over dog is no better than a squirrel or a skunk here.
