 As a dog lover and someone who enjoys taking photos of dogs in different corners of the world, I thought this would be a simple story to start our “stay at home” travel series.

Part of the pleasure I receive in taking these photos is to reassure myself and many others who are concerned about the neglect of dogs in India, that the situation is not all negative. Although it is true there is hardship for street dogs all over India, there are many, many circumstances where I see the love and devotion that Indians have for not only their own dogs but for street dogs.
For me it speaks to the sense of humanity of Indian people that they will place food, blankets and water out for street dogs. I also enjoy watching the different behavioural patterns of India’s street dogs who lead a rough and tough life but often hang out in small packs, as dogs love to do and just enjoy getting up to mischief.
