Every dog has its day, and so it was for 'Lavinia' when the mangy mutt stumbled on to the path of Kim Cooling almost six months ago. Cooling, a resident of Woodford, London and a regular visitor to Sri Lanka has been actively involved in helping stray dogs and has during her numerous visits, been initiating general vaccination and sterilisation programmes. However, the white pup with doleful eyes captured Cooling's attention, securing a permanent place in her heart. The ardent canine fan, who was staying at the Mt.
