Lek Lek is a beautiful dog who lives happily with her family in Sri Lanka. All members of the family love her and always make sure that she is happy and healthy.
However, Lek Lek’s life hasn’t always been a bed of roses. A few years ago, she was a stray living on the streets of Nuwela Eliya. She tried to survive in the coldest days and never knew where she would get her next meal from.

But despite all her hardship, Lek Lek had a sweet and positive personality that helped her find a forever family and a loving owner. She would wag her tail every time everyone walked past her, hoping someone would notice her and adopt her.
Thankfully, her persistence paid off when she was caught the eye of a group of elephant rescuers that were working for the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. They were visiting Sri Lanka to do some elephant research.

The rescuers were walking through Nuwela Eliya when they came across the pup. She was eagerly waving her little tail and trying to get the attention of everyone passerby.
They were in a hurry, but they couldn’t resist stopping and giving her some cuddles. But when they began to walk away, the pup followed them. They brought the eager pup back to where they first met her, but she didn’t stop waving her tail and following them.

Her eagerness and dedication were completely melted their hearts and they didn’t want to leave her alone on the streets. For this reason, they decided to do something to help her.
The team asked people on the street if they could adopt and take responsibility for her care, but everyone declined. Thankfully, their driver, a man named Thushara, decided to take care of the pup.

Dogs are not just pets, they are members of the family. They deserve to be loved and cared by good owners in a loving home, instead of living on streets.
