Adopt homeless dogs: Trisha Krishnan

Actress Trisha Krishnan is urging people to adopt homeless dogs in new advertisement for animal activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India. In the ad she appears with a rescued dog named Bambi, who was tormented by a group of school boys before being rescued by a passing motorist.

The ad, shot by ace photographer G. Venkat Ram, reads, "Be an Angel: Adopt a Homeless Dog", encouraging people to adopt a dog from an animal shelter or the streets.

Trisha also revealed her own story of how she rescued her dog Cadbury, from the streets.

"I found him … in Hyderabad (while) I was shooting for a film. We were just driving past, and we saw this small little puppy that was wounded … and he couldn't walk, and he was lying in the rain," said Trisha.

Cadbury received medical care and now is a part of her family. "He came back home with me … and he is like the son I never had," she said.
