dog sadness
One of the street dogs we feed has gone missing for a couple days, and it's really worrying me. I've known for some time that street dogs have hard lives and meet with sudden injuries randomly, but somehow never imagined that happening to this girl in particular. I hope she's okay, and turns back up tomorrow shyly wagging her tail.

She's always been unusually gentle for a street dog, shy and docile with everyone. My dad gave her the ironic nickname "bodybuilder/wrestler" (பயில்வான்) because she's so lean and averse to fighting (other than playfighting with her sister, which she did a lot of). We were trying to actually build that body up, making sure she got to eat her food without bother from other dogs, and to eat a lot of it. But as soon as she started allowing me to pet her, she requires at least thirty seconds of petting every time, before she would touch her food.

I'm trying to be hopeful that she's actually okay and will be back (the tenses are all over the place in the last toot because I was trying not to put her in the past tense prematurely). Maybe she's just got some minor injury that needs rest, and will be back in a couple of days; maybe one of the other people that feed her decided to take her into their home. But it's harsh reality that dogs on streets have brutal and often short lives, especially non-aggressive ones like her.
Please give your time and aid to Humane Animal Society (https://hasindia.org/) or your local equivalent, they genuinely turn lives around, or even save ones that would have otherwise been lost.
