Save Tiger: the king needs a safety cover!
The national animal of India, has been a soft prey for poachers and in 2009 alone India lost 86 tigers.
The ever receding Tiger paw counts make for a sorry figure. Let’s put in an effort to save the big cat for the generations to come. For if we fail, the stakes are too high, Tiger should not meet an inevitable fate like Dodo.
You may dismiss my recommendations as being that of a canine but think deep within; had man done enough my need wouldn’t have arrived! So here I voice what I consider may well be the probable solutions, you are free to comment and recommend your viewpoints.

It kind of seems funny to hear ‘Cat’ singing ‘I love my dog’ 🙂 Not that I complain though.
This was Stevens first released single and catapulted him to fame. Stevens wrote the lyrics inspired by a dachshund he found tied to a post when he was young.

Best TV ads featuring dogs
Well, there is no dearth of talent and wits when it comes to copywriters having dogs in their artwork, yet for the sake of succinctness in the post, I’ve taken the liberty of choosing four. However in the coming posts I’d again reiterate on the idea.
So, here’s presenting the TVC with pups in a starring role…

Nepal Gadhimai festival – Losing my religion!
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated…I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by [people] from the cruelty of [human kind]”—Mahatma Gandhi
Grr…Grrr…
The nefarious acts against animals seem to be on a never-ending spiral loop 🙁 Is this massacre of God’s worthy creations and flowing ravines of innocent blood, the only salvation for human sins?

How Dogs Became Man’s Best Friend?
The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it the most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.

Korean carnage
It’s an appeal to my human friends that since ‘International Day of Action for Dogs and Cats in Korea’ is on July 14, 2009,kindly take this oath to care for animal rights, join ‘In Defense of Animals’ …I aren’t asking you to turn vegetarian overnight but would it hurt if you raise your voice atleast once when you see someone smacking a street dog in the shed or would it be a herculean effort if you would kindly put some water for a thirsty canine in a midsummer noon?
A gift for God!
Recently, Calvy read me a news story about the Karnataka Tourism Minister (Mr. Gali Janardhan Reddy) who ‘gifted’ a 42 crore worth of a diamond-studded crown to the ‘GOD’! I understand the fact that the minister is a mine baron and has obscene amounts of currency at disposal yet I wonder, pardon me if I sound naive, why would god need such a gift? The dogged intuition that I inherited gives me this much of an insight that Gods don’t crave for materialistic desires…the halo over their head requires no diamond studded crown to add sheen to its aura. What can a human offer to the great one?

Why the dog writes?
’ve got so much to post and this damn keyboard…hell,all humans think about is themselves…I guess,I’ll have to order a custom made keyboard to suit my paws.I know, you bloggers aren’t used to this kind of thing…I can wonder what your medulla and cerebrum would be going through as they’re being subjected to analyse the pawed lexicon of our kind hence I’ll try to express myself in English and with whatever I’ve learned of your weird language, I can very well make out that my vehemnt dislike for a few specimen of your species wouldn’t be turned down. The cult of Canis familiaris and International United Association of Canines(IUAC) have bestowed their benevolent act through financial funding for this blog…forgot to mention(you see I’m an epitome of humility),the great pains taken by me while working on Harry’s computer!
