A stray dog has been around my house compound for some time now.Actually since there are not much movements around the house ,since Iam alone most of the week days t,he stray dog had his access to the inside of my compound and around the house quite easily.The next plot being vacant, it used to jump inside the wall quite easily and curl up and sleep.
Iam sort of afraid of animals, and so I used to shoo this dog away whenever I saw him.It will lurk around a little ,and if I persist with my shooing will go away only to return to the compound again.During the recent journey ,which I undertook I thought, let the dog be there as the house will be safe during my absence and did not shoo it that much.When I returned it was there, and as usual I shooed it and it went.
Now since some two weeks this dog is not to be seen.Iam now curious to know what happened to it.It is as though, it had come to ensure the safety of the house and had gone away after my return.
I remember now reading about another news that came in the newspapers ,about a beggar woman who was living in a small town and her only companions were stray dogs.She had some seven or eight I believe.I can understand that situation. The more you go higher up in the caliber of life, the more diversified are your comapnions. Still a dog does give company when one is alone.Perhaps the poor woman had a feeling of having some one to care for when the dogs surrounded her,or she felt cared for as the dogs awaited her return from begging.
Yes, life is so much doggedness ,that it can but be explained by this animal immortalised by the poet in his symbol for faithfullness.I do wish love was but a dog in real life.
Jayamala.
