13-Year-Old and Classmates Save 100 Stray Dogs
A 13-year-old boy named Zohar and his classmates from a school in Bengaluru wanted to help stray dogs in their neighborhood.
They noticed that stray dogs were getting hurt in accidents because drivers couldn't see them at night.
So, they decided to put special reflective collars on the dogs to make them more visible.
They raised money and got help from their parents and local animal groups.
They successfully fitted 100 dogs with these collars, which has made the roads safer for the dogs.
Zohar learned that even kids can make a big difference by taking action and caring for others, including animals.
Zohar Verghese, a 13-year-old student, and his classmates initiated a project to protect stray dogs in their neighborhood.
They fitted 100 stray dogs with reflective collars to make them visible to drivers at night.
The project was inspired by a stray dog that was hit by a vehicle on a dimly lit road.
The students raised funds and received support from their parents and local animal welfare groups.
The initiative has significantly reduced near-miss accidents involving stray dogs in the area.
