Looks like a dog strayed in the path of a Kingfisher airline. It’s interesting to note that dogs seem to have a way of getting through most security cordons. Follow street dogs around any fence and they will show you a breach that no one could anticipate. Dogs have been the most evolutionary creature of our times. They way they have adapted to rapid urbanization is telling of how this animal might be still around when humans as a race are long on, maybe that’s saying too much.
Right since when Laika visited space to when Zanjeer sniffed out RDX, the celebration of canines has gone hand in hand with pelting them with stones. In urban centers, you’ll find dogs cluster smartly around where the sources of food are. This could be outside where an animal lover lives to the vicinity of garbage bins. You can also see visible efforts by dogs to mingle. So they’re curled up at bus stops, right there around marriage halls, frequently found at the heels of anyone carrying a food bag and probably are informally employed by most corporate via their contract security guards.
Dogs also seem to treat everyone at par. Irrespective of quality of light poles, given an opportunity they’ll still piss on it. In the streets of Mumbai, you’ll find dogs coexisting with urchins and the homeless. At the other extreme you’ll also find dogs that coexist with socialites and page 3 starlets.
Have you ever noticed what happens when some sadist kicks/ stones a dog? It yelps, and runs off, sometimes quite a distance. A couple of hours later you’ll find the same dog curled up at the same location. They seem to rationalize their lives well, taking the pain with the high points. Goes without saying that feed a dog once and you have a friend for life.
Dogs have always been domestic. They seem to figure out a way to survive most times in the harshest of societies. Unless of course they’re run over by airplanes.
