Street Dogs

These are some of my dogs that I counted every day walking to work:

A few blocks from the house where I stayed, I would see the first pack of dogs. Patch was a regular, but he wasn't there on this day.

Carefully crossing the busy street

This guy slept in the cart on a regular basis. The owner would leave some rags in the corner and he would curl up and sleep.

No dogs, but view from the RR overpass that I had to walk on the few occasions that a train was on the tracks. The dogs usually scampered across the tracks just like everyone else.

This one slept near a park on the Jangpura side of the tracks.

The one with the white patch is Stoner, my favorite pup. I passed him almost every single day, a few blocks from work. He squinted in the sunlight and never seemed to be fully aware of the noise around him, hence the name. Stoner usually had 1-3 buddies sleeping near him.

Typical Indian street dog - yellow with short fur and long ears that didn't quite stand up.

Showing some wear and tear from a rough life on the street.

Indian dogs spend all their lives in the dust.

Wandering through Central Market for some shopping.

Mama dog in a park near my house. She looks part boxer.

Her lively pup, who only stood still to drink water. The boys in the park chased her relentlessly.

It's hard to be a sleepy puppy.

Valentine's Day + last week at work = breaking my rule and cuddling with street puppies!
