Beautiful elegant Rosie was rescued as a pup from aggressive humans in Ahmedabad. She has been living with the kind Roychowdhury family ever since.  Her rescue story sent by Kalyani Roychowdhury: Rosie, her siblings and mother lived on the lawn of my former housing society.  When we and the other residents first discovered them, everyone seemed happy, and I got full support from the other families.  They would play around, and then the other residents started threatening them and us, for we and another family used to take care of them. They started to pester us because we showed love to the darling little puppies. Two of the puppies succumbed, one to a road accident, the other to gastroenteritis. In fact Rosie almost died of the disease but my daughter got her checked, and then we brought her home and decided to keep her till she recovered. At that time we didn't intend to adopt her as we didn't want to curb her free-roaming nature.  But then her mother passed away f...

Rani is a very special dog with all the grit and adaptability Indies are known for. Read about her remarkable  journey from the streets of Delhi, through shelter and foster care, to her final home with doting owners Janneke and Rick Scholtes in the Netherlands.   Written by Rani's friend,  Sara Casapulla: Rani was an ownerless INDog-mix aged between seven and nine years, living on a very busy road in south Delhi, fed by Good Samaritans passing by and slum dwellers living on the same pavement. She was happy, even though she didn't have a roof above her head. She had freedom and enjoyed watching cars and people passing by.  Till one sad day...it was late at night, and Rani was sleeping in the street as usual, when a speeding car hit her.  Rani was screaming in pain, and two animal rescuers happened to pass by at that very moment. They picked her up immediately and took her to an animal shelter nearby.  She had a fractured leg. The vet put a simple bandage on ...

I love all of Prashant's photography but most of all his images of street animals: mysterious, evocative and compassionate.  I asked him whether I could share some of his dog photos and he immediately said yes. You can see more of his beautiful work in  his website.   I shared one of his most brilliant photos on this blog earlier -  click here. Thank you again, Prashant!

We all want our Indies to love the water as much as we do. But sometimes they just don't!  Some snapshots of watery outings with Indies, from this summer: 1. Ginger on Nagaon beach. "I'll admire the sea from here, thanks." 2. Grumps being dipped in the water. NOT amused. 3. Tippu watching Sajoy swimming in a pond with friends..."Oh no, those evil men are going to hurt my human..." "Don't know how to swim, but I've got to reach Sajoy and save him..." "Reached! He's safe! Yayyy!" 4. Tequila is fascinated by the movement of water. She'll go in only with company, and then enjoys romping around, though she hasn't started swimming yet. 5. Tommy hates water! He'll just get his feet wet, but no more. 6 . You can see which member of the K Gang likes the sea, and which one does not. "Can we go back now?"
