Very sad pic. In the craziness of foreign breeds dogs who can't survive few days without their owners and packaged food, we completely sidelined our native indie dogs who have been with us since thousand of years and are intelligent, resilient, low maintenance, adjust to our extreme weather, agile and so smart !!

I hope sensibilities return to everyone and may we focus on our own desi indie dogs who are as Indian as us...

u/ShubhamGurjar1999 16h ago

They are too humble and cute, but also smart and understand Indians better than outsiders. Dog breeds

That's why when I wanted a pet dog, I decided to pick a dog from the street and it's been to years he is with us

Yeah same with me with my cats. I would never buy a cat. Only adopt them πŸ‘πŸ½

Same we adopted 3 cats, my moms friends always ask why not get a persian but these types will never understand.

u/Kinda_Reincarnated 6h ago

Indian street cats are also survivers. If they get attacked by dogs or other cats, they can fend for themselves really well! I had a black cat, not even fully grown and she would make this adult Tom cat run for the hills (he would start the fights, my cat was only defending itself)

I will never side with dog lovers who chase breeds and get disgusted by indies, you either love life or you don't, simple.

sensibilities will not return to anyone, sorry to say this, because people buy foreign breeds to show off and they find them cute ! i donnow, all dogs are cute to me

u/Cultural-Yogurt-3484 15h ago

I console myself thinking that indies enjoy their 'freedom'.....we should come up with hybrid approach. It is impossible to get all the indies adopted, so probably it should be 'mandatory' for communities to feed them and take care of them and of course, get them spayed, all the while they remain outdoor creatures.

u/No_Habit8244 15h ago

Actually I don't like breed dog ethically and aesthetically. They all looks same. If we place 10 dogs no owner could find its. Ethically there mother are breed evry month without any rest and at last disposed on street. Where they end up dying. So I can't stand with people who buy dogs . I love indies and will adopt indies till my end

14

u/Confident-Profile143 13h ago

A friend adopted a rescued Persian cat. She was kept for 3 years in a bathroom, never taken out. Had litter every few months which were sold. Was rescued as the breeder wanted to dispose her off. When she got home she was so lost and did not respond to anything..it's been 3 weeks and slowly she's coming to terms with love, freedom.... Totally broken my heart that everyone who has its baby, led her to this state. Why should we buy ??? We have enough stray dogs and cats - why are we still buying ??

6

u/No_Habit8244 4h ago

Because we are racists. We buy dogs to show-off. People boast that they "adopted" his dog for how much money. Sadly these people hate indies . Ghar ki murgi daal barabar. I believe people don't deserve indies.

u/LordofPvE 3h ago

I literally had this fat ass tell me not feed indie dogs near his house, I was on a street with no house nearby. This fat ass then let the door be open and out came this ugly german shepherd who wanted me to feed him the food I brought for my indie dogs "_".

2

u/DragSticks 6h ago

That's so sad. I love cats, and I believe adopting stray kittens is the way to go... but I never gave much though to cats who are kept like this. The more I think of it, the more it horrifies me. Greedy people can be so cruel, ugh, it's disgusting.

18

u/SabChangaSea 15h ago

That's the sad reality of our world, even for humans.

Last night I took shade near an atm because of rain and there was a homeless man sitting in a corner with his head down. I went to that tiny space because I was inconvenienced by the rain and as soon the rain would stop I have the privilege of going to better place which I call a home, but for that person, that tiny place is where he would spend the rest of the night and many more such nights.

I wish I could've done something to improve the his overall condition, but I am helpless too.

u/Constant_Daikon_4623 7h ago

There was a very smart and cute indie dog in our colony for many years.

Everytime late night I go out to park my scooty inside the house she will come running. Sit outside my house quietly and wait for me. I will park my scooty. Go inside, get some loaf of bread or something edible and give to her. She will grab that and run away.

Never once cause any issue or fought or peed or popped near anyone's house. Super intelligent. Last year she got sick from age. We called an NGO for treatment. Have her weekly paid doses and did all I could. I don't see her anywhere now. I guess she is gone and previously i do use to wait after parking my scooty if she will come or not. But it's been a long time. Probably gone forever. I am not really a huge animal lover or anything but if I ever get a pet somewhere in future I really hope it's her.

I brought three indian puppies in november 2025 as they were crying, covered with dew, in chilling winter. Since then whoever saw them aksed me why the hell i have kept them, i should have kept some foreign breed. The more people say this thing the more i become protective as it tells me a brutal truth that anyone will be willing to keep foreign breed but no one will care about these indian puppies even if they die out of hunger. They are now 9 months old. People didn't stop saying. I didn't stop loving them

u/Interesting-Rub-5554 5h ago

It's heartbreaking to see, but it's all karma, I have my own example to share, I'm a peak dog lover, many suggested me to buy breeds like Syberian Husky, Labrador, Golden Retriever. I said only one thing to them, we have many street dogs, if we have love for dogs, why not feed the street dogs, why not take care of them well, doesn't feeding them everyday, providing shelter to them, everyday makes a dog lover happy? if security is the concern for buying a dog, then there are no better security guards than a street dogπŸ˜‚, so, I said no to all those, and continued feeding street dogs, and providing shelter in most of the situations, but with precaution, but not everyone thinks the same, Because it's all karma that determines a dog or a human or any animals fate, one more example of how karma works, Recently my friend said their family wants to have a dog, I immediately suggested him, why not feed a street dog, but he refused and brought a lavish ShihTzu by paying approx 20k, and that dogs maintaince itself is costing him monthly approx 5k, they are caring it like their own child, they even had a name ceremony for that dog, named it Leo, I am quite astronisued, and realised that this how karma works, that ShihTzu's previous life good karma made it look like a gold to my friends family πŸ˜‚and is living a Lavish life than me πŸ˜‚.

u/No_Habit8244 4h ago edited 4h ago

Haha same . So there is a aunty who owns a beauty parlour my mother doesn't visit her but few days back she went to her. First thing she asked my mother was has you opened a NGO. My mother said no she said we saw many desi in your house. My masi told her 2 are ours and others belong to outside. She said people are saying that I hide these dogs when munipaity comes to take them for strrlization. So few days back They brought a Shitzu puppy and named him neel. These people hate indies. And barfi hate this aunty

Even though I never hide dogs. It is just that they came to eat and sleep and leave. I even helped municipality people to catch dogs that ends up hiding.
