Nikhil was left on a village road in the countryside when he was approximately one month old. We found him surrounded by a pack of street dogs. According to local people, one dog was standing by Nikhil for several hours, protecting him much like she would her own puppies. We arrived and brought Nikhil back to Our Home. He is a hero for Our Home. He knows all the english alphabet, he doesn't like writing Malayalam, which is the local language of Kerala. He likes to watch films, and is a fan of the film star Mamotti. He thinks he is a good singer!
