By Nishant Consider a hypothetical situation in an educational institute where the campus administration has decided to take help of dog catchers to get rid of stray dogs from the institute campus. There is a popular dog in the campus and students have launched a campaign on social media to save that dog which is “Save Whitey campaign”. Imagine how dog fraternity would have reacted when they would have known that out of all dogs only ‘Whitey the Dog’ is being rescued. And other dogs would have to leave college campus either on their own or in caged vehicles. The conversation below between three dogs comically highlights concern and plight of dogs. Disclaimer: This is a light hearted conversation and doesn’t intends to hurt or harm feelings or sentiments of anyone be it a human or a dog. Brown dog#1: “We are being kicked out of the campus” Brown dog#2: “That’s bad and nobody is bothered about us” Brown dog#3 now joins the conversation. Brown dog#3: “Humans are trying to save one dog from being banished” Brown dog#1: “Why only one dog?” Brown dog#2: “Who is that lucky dog?” Brown dog#3: “One question at a time. I will tell whatever I know. Some of the humans have complained that we are unhygienic, dirty and what not and we are polluting campus. That’s why their ruling council has decided to kick us out of the campus into the concrete jungle.” Brown dog#1 gets impatient and angry: “Gr…. What we are polluting campus but we have been here…..” Brown dog#3: “Stop being a moron. This is an emergency and let me finish first. There is a section of human who have launched a campaign to save the fairest dog in the campus. Last I heard their campaign got good support from other humans” Brown dog#2: “What the fairest dog……… Do you mean that dog who wags his tail fanatically whenever he is near any human?” Brown dog#3: “Dog, you are right.” Brown dog#1: “Gr….. I don’t understand if we are being kicked out for polluting the campus. How can he an exception?” Brown dog#2: “Woof … woof. Dog you are getting agitated again. This looks like a serious case of racism to me. Just because rest of us are brown, humans are not supporting us.” Brown dog#1: “Don’t we have any rights commission?” Brown dog#3: “What like Dog rights commission?” Brown dog#1: “Yeah” Brown dog#2: “Are you crazy? There is Human rights commission which does not even looks after human concerns. How can you…..” Brown dog#3: “expect Dog rights commission to listen in case it existed” Brown dog#2: “This is sad …… Do you dogs have Facebook account, at least we can voice our concerns there?” Brown dog#1: “No I don’t have a FB account” Brown dog#3: “Even I don’t … I don’t know any dog in campus except that fair dog who is on FB” Brown dog#2: “What? This is ridiculous. That fair dog has FB account. Again I scent something sinister. Humans have introduced racism in dogs as well.” Brown dog#3: “I agree with you dog” Brown dog#1: “Gr….. Woof….. Woof. So much for not trending on social media. Gr….. Woof ….. Woof” Brown dog#3: “Stop dog, you are attracting unnecessary attention from humans” Brown dog#2: “We should have tried to be in human’s good books or trending on social media” Brown dog#1: “It’s not that we never tried. We respect humans and are happy to see them and even wag our tails.”
Brown dog#3: “I don’t get this …… this is against dog’s ethics. Dogs have been human’s friends” Brown dog#2: “But ….. Unless we also get human’s support, we are doomed” Brown dog#1: “Just because that dog is fair and other dogs are brown doesn’t mean he is not a dog” Brown dog#2: “Yeah rules should have be same for every dog” Brown dog#3: “But this is India my friend, rules are good only for decoration.” Brown dog#2: “Meeting over for now dogs……… Security guy is coming, run for your lives”
Haha….
guess… creating an FB account for the other dogs, would level the playing field….
