- Meet Usha, the woman who’s been feeding over 100 strays every single day for 25 years. In a world where loyalty is often betrayed and trust is hard to come by, Usha found her refuge in the purest form of love, through dogs.
- “I’ve tried loving people,” she says with a heavy voice, “but they break your trust. Dogs, on the other hand? They only know how to love. No conditions, no expectations, just love and loyalty.”
- Usha is a one-woman army who has spent the last 25 years waking up before sunrise to feed over a hundred stray dogs across her city. At 3 a.m. each day, while most of the world is still lost in sleep, she’s in her kitchen, making fresh rotis, cooking meals, and preparing warm milk. Her tiny home smells of ghee and dog food, not perfumes or luxuries. Because her love isn’t for show, it's in action.
- But the road hasn’t been easy.
- She’s seen it all, puppies eating trash, starving dogs licking faeces off the streets just to survive another day, injured strays limping in search of a safe corner. Her heart has silently broken each time she watched humans hit dogs in fits of rage, as though these voiceless souls were punching bags for their frustrations.
- Where many would turn away, she is all that they have.
- In areas where people complain about dogs “dirtying the streets,” Usha doesn’t argue, she just bends down and cleans the mess herself. She doesn’t do it for applause. She does it because no one else will. And because these dogs are her “kids,” as she lovingly calls them, they need someone who sees them as more than just a nuisance.
- But now, Usha is reaching out of time.
- Her voice, once filled with strength, now carries the weight of helplessness. The cost of feeding and caring for these animals has caught up to her. Medicines, food, cleaning essentials it all adds up. And while love fuels her mission, love alone doesn’t pay the bills.
- “Beta,” she says softly, “you have people. Family. Friends. These dogs have only me. And now, I need you so I can be there for them.”
- This isn’t just a story. It’s a cry for help.
- If each of us gave just a little, maybe the cost of a coffee, a snack, or a movie ticket it could mean the world to a dog who hasn’t eaten in days. It could give Usha the support she needs to continue doing what she’s done so selflessly for decades.
