Must Love Dogs

I used to love dogs when I was a kid. I was also afraid of them. In fact I was chased by dogs twice. Most books I read as a child always featured them as characters... Enid Blyton, and plenty of other authors. Even Mahabharata recounts Yuddhistir insisting on his pet dog following him during his final hours. When recent dog bite issues came up it struck me that possibly it is because strays are too many in number that they become wild and attack humans thinking them to be food or potential threats. The solution is to move them away from the streets and put them in some forest or wild life area. It has to be done fast. PETA and others could adopt and domesticate those that they can look after ... letting them loose on the streets is no answer. However before we begin to hate these creatures, a look at some aphorisms that have formed part of our folklore and talk about another relationship that these canines had with us. In fact one of the music companies has a dog as its logo given its acute and keen sense of hearing!!! I also find it strange that a dog is a derogatory term when the animal itself was a symbol of loyalty and unquestioning love.

P.S, Anyway I hated cats , unlike ALL my girl friends who for some strange reason were cat lovers!!!!
