November 2024
Let me take you on a journey that began in late November 2021. A female Indian street dog, who I often and fed, gave birth to five puppies. She had chosen a dry drain along a quiet lane for her babies, a place she thought was safe. I did what I could to provide her with some comfort, arranging a little shelter for her.
One day, a local resident noticed one of the puppies, a striking brownish-black one with expressive eyes, and decided to take him home. It was her first time caring for a dog, and unfortunately, she was unprepared. The puppy soon fell ill, and in her panic, she abandoned him back in the same drain. Meanwhile, the other puppies mysteriously vanished, likely taken away and left elsewhere by locals. I searched everywhere but could not find them.
