Sheru, stray dog hit by 26/11 terrorist's bullet, dies at animal hospital

MUMBAI: Sheru, the stray dog who was hit by a bullet in the 26/11 terror attack, died of a cardiac arrest at the animal hospital in Parel around 7.30 on Saturday morning. The ailing dog, believed to be around 14 years old, had also developed a leg injury recently, said Dr MayurDangar, manager at Bombay Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, better known as SPCA. "While this leg injury was healing for quite a long time, it was not the cause of Sheru's death. He died of a cardiac arrest," said Dr Dangar.

The stray canine which lived on the streets outside CST, one of the spots targeted by the terrorists, had been admitted to the animal hospital soon after it was hit by a gunman's bullet in the 26/11 terror attack six years ago. Sheru had been hit by two bullets. One of the bullets in Sheru's back was extricated during a surgery conducted at the hospital while the other was still lodged in his neck.

This bullet, said Dr Dangar, had pierced the dog's respiratory tract. "Had we tried to remove this bullet, it would have damaged Sheru's respiratory tract," said Dr Dangar.

The dog was being sponsored by a benefactor, said an official at the hospital, adding that the sponsor's identity could not be revealed.

Sheru's funeral is slated to be held around noon at the animal hospital today.
