Busy in our fascination of imported breeds, we have completely sidelined breeds that have been an inherent part of our country. So many dogs find their lineage running into our history, yet very few know what they are called. Many now live by the name "stray" when actually they are descendants from an illustrious line of hounds that helped kings hunt, soldiers fight, farmers protect and tribes herd.
The Great Indian Dog: Few others are as sturdy, as intelligent and as loyal. Blinded by our love of novel things we have forgotten these dogs. Now all they are known as are "mongrels", "pariahs", and "street dogs".
In our bid to resurrect the popularity of the Great Indian Dog, we are proactively encouraging the adoption of young puppies that are born around your corner store, that see the hardships of life from day one, value every meal, and cherish the warmth of every smile they receive. They too need a chance on life. Make them a part of your world, and they will make you their universe
It’s not what is on the outside, but on the inside that truly matters.
