I want to dedicate this post of mine to all the stray dogs anywhere and everywhere.. I hate them.. I hate them.. I hate them.. I hate them.. I hate them.. So now u know exactly what I feel abt them and the depth of my feeling…
I belong to DVG where stray dogs are there, but considerably the population of stray pigs is more and the most watched scene was stray dogs chasing stray pigs. So I rarely had much issues with them, except once.
Then I was riding my cycle on my way to tuitions early in the morning, a dog came running behind me. His/her(I never got the luxury of time to clearly make out) mouth with that tongue that was falling out almost near my feet.. I was speeding off with my bicycle in a downward slope. I never thought abt applying breaks after I saw it chasing me. Finally it came with me till DRM Science College. It directly went near canteen. After making me scream and run for my life and breaking a spoke in my bicycle’s wheel, it was on its way to have its breakfast. It might have got enough entertainment, I’m not sure. But the people in and around that area had.. Grrrrrr.. That four leg one tail fellow embarrassed me..
While I was at DVG, I heard and read abt the stray dogs attacking small kids in Bangalore.. My blood boiled with anger. Later it cooled down as I thought neither I was staying there nor was I a kid so that it could attack and get away with it..
I landed at the IT Capital and troubles shot up for me b’coz of this 4 leg 1 tail fellow..
• If I buy anything to feed myself on, like may be a piece of black forest cake(yummy..) this fellow with its nose will know what I have in my carry bag and chase me to get away with the prize.. my food.. I bought it for me u DOG, not for u.. And I bought it because I was hungry and the way u look, u seem to have a feast every hour a day.
• Later I thought let me have it at the bakery only, standing there. It’ll not chase me. When I bought something, this moron who was around that place, started to hop around me. Which made me scared and go hoping too. Eventually I dropped and he caught. Again MY FOOD..
• I felt like having chicken biriyani. Had got the recipe so thought of making it. Went to buy some raw chicken. While coming back I saw 4-5 dogs waiting for me. This time I asked the guy in the store almost begging holding his feet(virtually) please accompany me till my home.. He started laughing saying. No it won’t do anything. (When did I say it’ll do something to u? I have my reasons dude. ) finally after making fun of me with others he came with me.. Embarrassment!!
• I love walking listening to music. I was walking a day happily to my home ( I was happy b’cos I was early from office that day) my hands were in sync with my legs and I was in total rhythm of the music.. Suddenly I felt my left hand tip moist and touching something soft. I just slowing, in rhythm with the music turned to check it.. I saw a stray dog licking my fingers.. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhhhhhr.. I screamed.. Jumped.. Sprinted.. Howled.. (Completely not in sync with the music) and the dog came chasing me. Then few men and a lady came to my rescue. There were nearly 25-30 on lookers.. Laughing.. The lady offered her hand to it.. Yuk!!! She said it’s a sweet dog.. Who knows she might have licked it too. Yuk…
• A friend of mine was attacked by 3 huge stray dogs and was on sick leave.. I visited her.. she showed few marks also..(She won an appreciation for bravery from office 4 fighting with dogs, I prefer giving it a miss.. than fighting with those creatures..)
• I read abt a 2-3 year kid becoming food for some dogs. Horrible!!
The list is never ending. The number of times.. I screamed for help, the amount of food I unwillingly fed them with, , Amount of fear in me for them which all eventually took the form of hatred without boundaries towards them..
Every day I’ll have encounters with them. Morning while I need to take my vehicle out I see one sir/madam laying in front of the gate as the place is registered under his/her name.. When i make enough. Aye.. usshh.. hats.. he or she will move off. At office there are so many stray dogs inside the compound wall(even after having a cow catch laid out at the entrance). They shit in the parking area and dirty the place.. They quarrel there.. They actually live there.. I was a lot pissed off with that.. I came to know one fine day that they are adopted stray dogs and are adopted by my wing’s head and his cabin is just a 5-6 steps from my cubi.. Felt like walking up to him and hitting him. But I really needed this job and while leaving a good record here. Y can’t he take them to his home and give them a better living?? Grrrrrrrr………
All u people supporting and sympathizing for stray dogs like few NGOs.. U r ideas of birth control on strays are not welcomed..(Thing is they operate the dogs and leave them. Dogs bearing that pain will take any human as an enemy later for few day and attack. Something kinda happened with my friend) If u really care, adopt them. TAKE THEM TO UR PRIVATLY OWNED PLACE and take care of them. U can later sell of their puppies else u do birth control surgeries there. So many kids are attacked. It might be ur kid also one day. I don’t buy the idea of giving stray dogs importance than a human kid..
If the fear is of extinction of stray dogs.. I don’t think it’ll happen … dog lovers can adopt one of these kinds than buying fancy ones(All are dogs eventually) which will be better than sympathizing on them and putting other people’s life in danger . I mean If u really care, take care of them, else keep quiet and let others do it in their way.
I may sound selfish here. Don’t think otherwise, I’m, very much. When it comes to ur safety and life if u r a little selfish I don’t think it’s a sin. Isn’t it?
