I'm pretty sure you all have come across state sponsored news brokers trying to incite hatred against the indies by posting isolated dog attacks or oftentimes sharing fake news just to sensationalize and spread misinformation.

Well, one such NDTV goon was caught on camera hitting an indie with a bottle simply because he's a hater. the dog can be seen minding it's own business, in case the dog retaliated the nincompoop would've followed his masters teachings and spun the news crying wolf. absolutely shameless and spineless behavior.

how are we expected to have unbiased and honest reporting when these brokers are standing in front of the camera with their personal hateful agendas and spreading fear just to have dogs killed.

Edit - Dog haters I see y'all downvoting per usual, guess it hurts to see the masters getting called out. 😅

A deep bond was formed between Raja and the beggar. Everywhere he was followed by Raja. So strong was the bond: the beggar was searched for endlessly if missing and was guarded faithfully while sleeping.

This evening, the beggar passed away.

His side was not left by Raja. The body was loaded into the ambulance. Raja fixed pleading eyes on them-jumping and whining desperately, as if begging: "Put me down too... Take me with him." It was witnessed with extreme pain. Raja was comforted as shopkeepers and residents rushed to the spot. He still waits for the beggar to return.

(Dog volunteer Prof. Roger Joseph, Pune, MH witnessed it live)

Delhi summer is getting worse day by day, My good boy is mostly down to 1 meal a day and that too in the late hours. Very rarely in the day time.

How are your dogs doing?

adopt an indie, adopt a stray !! the best decision ever.... and the resilience, the behaviour of a stray dog is unmatched. our walks are so much fun. she is absolutely zero reactive, no lunging, no leash pulling, no barking - just like an angel ....

we're doomed

This is Bhuri. In the park she plays happily, children also play around her, and neither Bhuri nor the children have any problem with each other. 🐶❤️👧👦

But this same Bhuri sometimes barks or even tries to scare suspicious people — like drunk people roaming at midnight. Some old people also chase or hit her just because they don’t like dogs. So how should a dog react in such situations?

A dog protecting its area, reacting in fear, or barking at suspicious behaviour does not always mean the dog is “aggressive.”

If a dog was truly aggressive, would children be able to play peacefully around her every day?

Before labeling every street dog as dangerous, people should also look at human behaviour towards them. Many community dogs react because of fear, trauma, teasing, or being chased.

Aggression cannot be decided by one bark, one video, or one incident. Real understanding comes from observing the dog’s overall behaviour, environment, and how humans treat them too. 🐾

Play with them.

They don’t have phones. They don’t have Netflix. They don’t have Instagram to scroll through when they’re bored.

They have toys, a few zoomies, and YOU!!!.

So when they bring you their favourite toy for the 47th time, play along. When they sit beside you hoping you’ll chase them, get up and chase them. When they look at you with those eyes asking for just five more minutes, give them those five minutes.

Because for us, it’s just playing with the dog.

For them, it’s the best part of their day. 🥺🐶

And one day, you’ll wish you could hear those little paws running towards you again.

It was my birthday and the entire family decided to go to a temple. When we reached there we saw one tiny thin puppy scavenging in a heap of trash and that's how my mother decided we were taking him with us. Somehow he made me an absolute dog lover. I slowly started taking care of dogs, cats, birds etc thanks to this amazing soul. He became the reason I now feed dogs, vaccinate and rescue them as well. It hurts like hell when he passed away and it affected my mother the most. He was connected to her the most, he would always protect her and stay with her most of the time. Seeing my mother so emotional was something I couldn't imagine (she was always strict with me and my brother). I hope I get to see you in my next life, till then I will continue taking care of the animals as much as I can.

He is an old man now.

You can walk outside for 5 minutes and encounter 7 street dogs, but finding a random cat feels like a side quest!!

I never realized how differently indie dogs are treated until this week, and honestly I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.

For context, I own a Dogo Argentino and an American Akita. I’ve been to vets many times with both of them. Vaccinations, injuries, checkups, emergencies, all of it. The staff usually gets excited seeing them. They talk sweetly to them, pet them, ask about their breed, compliment them, and handle them with patience and care.

A few days ago, there was a fight between my Dogo and some stray dogs near our area. It escalated badly and one of the indie dogs got severely injured. Despite the chaos, I couldn’t just leave him there suffering, so I contacted a vet and they admitted him.

And that’s when I saw a completely different side of things.

The moment I walked in to check on that injured indie dog, the energy was different. No concern, no urgency, no compassion. The same staff that usually fusses over my pet dogs looked irritated and uninterested. The doctor barely even looked at him properly at first.

What hurt me the most was how cold the handling was.

This dog was terrified, bleeding, and clearly in pain. But the vet treated him like an inconvenience rather than a living being. He didn’t try to calm him down, didn’t pet him once, didn’t speak gently, nothing. Every movement felt rough and mechanical, like he just wanted to “finish the case” and move on.

I kept remembering how differently my own dogs are treated in the same clinic. With them, there’s patience. There’s empathy. They’re spoken to softly. The handlers smile, interact, and reassure them.

But with this indie dog? It felt like nobody saw value in him.

At one point I even noticed the hesitation to touch him properly unless absolutely necessary, as if being a stray somehow made him less deserving of care. The contrast was impossible to ignore.

And honestly, it broke my heart.

This dog didn’t choose to be born on the street. He didn’t choose hunger, fear, or survival. Yet somehow people automatically associate indie dogs with being “dirty,” “aggressive,” or not worth emotional effort.

I went there expecting treatment. I left realizing how deep the discrimination against indie dogs actually is.

The saddest part is that despite being in immense pain, that dog still looked at people with trust. He still allowed treatment. He still wagged his tail slightly when spoken to kindly by me. Even though he was completely skeptical of me for quite sometime after the incident.

An injured indie deserves the same gentleness, patience, and dignity as any husky, golden retriever, Akita, or Dogo.

After this experience, I have massive respect for people who rescue and care for street dogs every single day, because now I’ve seen firsthand how differently these animals are treated.

I just needed to get this off my chest because I genuinely can’t stop thinking about that dog’s eyes in the clinic.

I was looking for boarding places in delhi for 2-3 days.

I called 4 places, they asked for the breed. 3 places simply refused to keep her on learning that she's an Indie.

Im angry and I don't understand what's the reasoning behind this.

The 4th place, i think they told me a reduced price after learning the breed, which was awesome! But i saw 1 bad review on them among many good ones, so I got a bit dicey. But i think I'm gonna with them only.

-have you had a similar experience?

- do you know of any good boarding places for indies in delhi? I prefer home-like setups.

Edit: I've found the place for my baby. It's in rohini, and they offer a private ac room for reactive dogs as well.

I also asked her about this refusing to take indies problem and she said the reasons are: - they try to run away -they don't get along with other dogs -they get sad being away from their family -they don't eat because of being sad -may get aggressive (but it's mostly the not getting along with other dogs and basically being reactive)

She dragged me to the terrace where there is no shade, direct sunlight at 1:00 in the afternoon. It was blinding and so hot , nearly 40 ° and while I was dying she was having the time of her life???

I need help/guidance regarding a very disturbing situation involving street dogs in Gurgaon.

Today I personally saw a dog-catching van trying to forcibly catch a street dog. A crowd gathered around, and then it started raining extremely heavily, so the van eventually had to leave.

I then spoke to a woman who feeds the dogs in that street. She told me that the dogs have been facing continuous cruelty from some residents. According to her, a small puppy was beaten to death with an iron rod, other puppies were poisoned, and the dogs are regularly beaten. She is also constantly harassed for feeding them.

Now the residents have called the dog-catching vans as well.

The street is right where the Parshad’s office is, which makes this even more concerning.

The lady had also previously spoken to Ambika Shukla, who contacted the people involved and spoke to them about these allegations. However, they completely denied everything, including the incidents of cruelty, and after that Ambika also stopped responding to us. So at this point, we’re trying to understand what can actually be done and how we can take this forward properly.

I live in New Palam Vihar, Gurgaon, and I’m part of a rescue group. I have already started speaking to a few people who may be able to help with the legal side, but I want to make sure we handle this correctly and don't put the feeder or the dogs at even greater risk.

If anyone here has experience with:

* animal cruelty complaints in Gurgaon/Delhi

* illegal/unsafe dog catching

* dealing with municipal dog-catching teams

* filing complaints or taking legal action against people poisoning or violently attacking community dogs

please tell me what the correct steps are.

I especially need guidance from people who have actually dealt with a similar situation. I don't want to just post about it and do nothing — I genuinely want to help these dogs and the woman who has been trying to protect them.

More power to such people

Gokarna ,that beach ,that peace ,that mate who was walking along ! Named him Gonda..He became my little friend and stayed by my side the whole time at Gokarna beach.. He was so human friendly, truly a pure soul!

Meet chunni / kuku / kuki , who i believe is 4-5 month old female fawn pariah. She randonly appeared one night when she must be a few weeks old, and a runt of strays, Jerry, took her under his protection, not as a mate, but as a daughter.

all was well and good for 4 ish months, when 2 days passed and i started noticing chunni not touching food, and she was visibly weaker and skinnier. Then on the 5th day, the society watchman mentioned that kuki had bloody diarrhea last night, and this was the time i thought it must be a big deal and i'll have to take her to a hospital. But i couldnt find her anywhere. After sometime i found her laying lifeless in a puddle of water, with not even a little bit of energy to even lift her head up.

We went to a private clinic first, where they did a cbc blood test, and told us she had 105 fever, as well as a viral infection, and she'll have to be administered a few injections and IV drips daily and she will be alright.

I decided to keep her at my home, and monitor her until she gets well, and i myself would administer fluids. But her iv was clotted, and she had shitted literal blood all over the balcony floor, and i thought she should be taken to hospital again.

This time i took her to jeevdaya foundation, a NGO, where the doctor told that she had parvovirus and if left untreated for close to a week, mortality rate is >90% in puppies. The people there were very supportive and i was told to take her there 2 times daily for drips and antibiotics injections, till she shows signs of improving.

I took her there for 6 days twice daily while kuki stayed strong as fuck when she was poked her with injections or staying calm amidst many other scared and caged dogs there. It was on the 6th day finally when instead of bloody diarrhea, she had a little less blood and she was showing a little energy.

During treatment, i was told to not give her neither a drop of water, nor any food. As doing so would inflame her intestines further than they already are.

Even tho from her pov it must be strange and scary, but when i held her hand and whispered her to stay strong, it felt like she understood me, and matched my energy to stay calm.

This virus has no cure. The intestines and other organs can be severely affected by this, with no desire to eat food, drink water. Early symptoms can include bloody diarrhea, bloody vomit, increase in body temps, loss of apetite and visibly weakening of body.

Take care of your street pups, and make sure they get clean water and some food in these hot days.
