This bear-like boy was quiet, humble, and shy.

He had been attacked by maggots in what probably started as a small wound on his forehead. This variety of maggots rage and race through healthy tissue, and can destroy a life within hours. As bad as this wound was, it may have been only a few days before someone noticed the terrible teeming hole and called us to the rescue. As we came to know this sweetheart better, his shyness and distrust of people never completely melted, but he grew, from unbelieving, untrusting, to an angel who seemed to completely recognize that we had given him back his life. Meet Bhaloo now!
