        dogs have had a special bond. I mean who              or  funding  to  dog  shelters  that  rescue

        doesn’t like cuddles from their dog or the            injured  dogs  along  with  other  helpless
        unconditional love they give? Or maybe, it’s          street  dogs.  A  dog  is  a  dog.  Dalmatian,

        the  extreme  loyalty  and  protection  they          Husky, German shepherd, whatever breed
        have  over  their  master  that  captivates           it is- an animal, stray or not, will love you,

        people into getting a dog? A lot of us have           and be your pal, and you’ve got to love and

        considered the street dogs that live in your          money  to  buy  a  pretty,  expensive  dog
        neighborhood?                                         when  there  are  so  many  helpless  street

                                                              dogs  roaming  around  your  neighborhood

        Have  you  ever  thought  about  how  much            right  now,  sad,  lonely  and  abandoned.

        lot  too  and  live  in  poor  harsh  conditions.     does  it?  In  fact,  street  dogs  tend  to  be

        Living  in  a  community  means  helping  all,        calmer in nature, and giving a dog a home

        from  people  to  dogs,  so,  if  we  could           helps not only the dog but the community
        contribute to the betterment of street dogs           too. A healthy dog is a happy dog, and a

        much to save those poor dogs! We all can

        feel  sad  or  anxious  to  help  them,               Many  street  dogs  have  gone  through
        sometimes, you may not even know how to               terrible abuse. Let’s try our best to prevent

        help them. Just                                       and  report  this  sort  of  animal  cruelty.
        remember,  however,  that  a  small  action           There  have  and  are  a  lot  of  hit-and-run

        helps  loads.  So,  even  if  you  give  your         cases  on  the  roads.  If  drivers  are  made
        biscuit to a dog on the street, or give them          aware of limiting speeds or giving time for

        a  blanket  to  sleep  in,  it  will  always  be      dogs and animals to cross roads, it could

        remembered by that dog.                               also  save  their  lives.  Many  drivers  break

        Food  is  the  number  one  priority.  Some           many  animal  deaths.  There  are  a  lot  of
        street dogs go around corners of streets,             people  who  abuse  these  dogs  as  they’re

        neighborhoods, and cities looking for                 either scared or frightened of them.
