MONGREL LOVE
This article is dedicated to all the lovely four-legged street friends for the unconditional love they show without expecting anything in return,written by Ms. Nivya Shekher, my daughter.

If he has not been seen by anyone even for a single day, people start enquiring about him. They have a peaceful sleep at night only after they have made sure that he is safe.
In return for the basic necessities that have been provided for him, he remains extremely loyal. He is our common guard dog and charges like a wild animal at someone who looks new and fishy and plays like a puppy with any child on the road.
He has been blessed with so much intelligence that people look at him in awe. He is considerate and polite to the other dogs and follows me around whenever I take my pet for a walk. Sometimes I wonder if he’s guarding the both of us. One particular day he followed me all the way to my bus stop and waited until I boarded the bus and left only after the bus started.
I could think of so many instances where he has made me wonder whether he had a human heart. We humans possess all kind of wonderful qualities, yet fail to show them but we must always keep our minds and hearts open and should be ready to learn things from our “human-like” four legged friends.
