There are more than three hundred and fifty varieties of Dogs found in this World, one can see them in every nook and corner of all countries.
The Dog is perhaps the only species which goes with master to bed and there is no hue and cry at home.
The other day a beautiful dog wearing multi coloured coat of latest style, tied with expensive chain was on morning stroll with maid servant. Suddenly two street dogs jumped upon him and the maid who was totally unaware of the hostile attempt. The dogs started barking with full force, dog coat was snatched and torn, and the maid was bewildered and horrified. This all happened within seconds, the passersby were stunned but extended help to the dog and the maid. The poor smart dog couldn’t save himself and the maid.
Dog loving people are very happy being on morning walk along with their dogs. They don’t mind when the dog evacuates on the footpath of Park without any consideration towards fellow walkers. They never bother to clean the footpath which annoys other walkers, sometimes all this goes with exchange of bad words between them. Pet owners never train their dogs at home for such activities, even though the training is only of five- six days by teaching the dog few cue words.
Some pet masters ask their servants, chowkidars or ladies to go out with one or more dogs for evacuating in the morning.
The other day a Nepali servant along with two black dangerous looking big sized dogs were roaming in the Park, one daily walker objected and requested him to keep it out of the Park as he was scared of such dogs. The servant ignored his diktat and next day he again brought the dogs. The same discussion pursued and he kept coming with the dogs for a few more days. One morning, the same old man shouted at him, the servant replied very rudely, “my Saab boltahaiki dog ko tum park me ghumao…. Koi Darnekibaatnahi, hum Saab kibaat mane yan tumhari.”
The elder person called a few young boys to settle the score, the boys caught the servant by the neck and gave him very harsh abusive dose and snatched his dogs and asked him to call his Saab. The drill attracted some more morning walkers. The two dangerous looking dogs were more scared than the servant. The viewers were totally amazed to see that the dogs neither barked nor created any fuss. One wonders what is the value of such dumb dogs. They are only show pieces whereas the two stray dogs jumped over the park wall-railing and started barking loudly to show their dissent to the passersby. These so called street or stray dogs won over the healthy diet eaters, living in AC houses. It is sad that these fatty dogs could not protect even their servant, who is with them all the time.
