Every Dog has his BITE

EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY , this famous saying is true in case of Aurangabadians these days. Since last 3 weeks Aurangabadi dogs are on the rampage. They are just polishing their teeth after taking a nice bite of Aurngabadi people. Poor chaps are the citizens. The main thing behind this biting spree is Municiple Corporation. Aurangabad, having population of 15 lakh plus with no guarantee of their safety from the administration. Only 10-15 people taking care of stray dogs. And one more interesting thing is that Dogs are very much familiar with these people and their van. So whenever they go on their mission they foung not a single puppy in their net! They said this on record!!
This is 2nd January 2008. Latest news is that a single dog bite 54 people in a single day!!!!! All these injured people are admitted to hospital and Municiple Corporation people are running through the slums hunting for the dogs! Its of course a hopless exercise as usual.
When I was looking for the interesting data about this dog menace, I got this stuff. Just have a look and think..

• A puppy is born without teeth. When the pup is three to four weeks old,28 teeth will break through the gums so the puppy will be able to eat solid food.
• Dogs were first domesticated about 12,000 years ago.
• Dogs were the first animals domesticated by people.
• Did you know that dogs have three eyelids? They have an upper and lower eyelid and a third one inside of the other two. It helpsprotect the eye from dirt and dust. It is also called a "haw".

Native Indian Breeds:
A lot of good work has been done by many Indians, some of whom have spent their entire lifetime on the documentation of the Indian breeds. But unfortunately for us all the standard for many Indian breeds has not found common consensus. Only the more popular or rather the breeds that have more number of dogs have been studied, measured, and standards written for them. It is not the aim of this website to go into the details of the differing opinions or research the details of these standards. Though the site is called dogsindia.com because it is meant to be a database of info on all dogs and dog owners, breeders, vets and all members who provide dog related services in India, it is not just a site on Indian dogs alone. So we shall provide a summary of the info available with us on the individual native Indian dog breeds. If we are wrong please do write to us with your valuable suggestions. If you have detailed info or can help us find that info about some lesser known breeds such as the Kanni, the Manjil, and so on, please do help us by writing to us by e-mail or by regular mail. We shall be very thankful for your help.

Above all read this what Banglorians say about this biting problem

...................

Resolving the issue of stray dogs in Bangalore has become highly contentious after the tragic attack that resulted in the death of a four-year-old and the subsequent culling of stray dogs which some have called inhumane.
Below is a three-step plan of action for discussion:
1. All stray dogs to be collected by the municipality and the small proportion of rabid dogs culled.2. All healthy stray dogs to be put up for adoption by the municipality. The public – individual or community - is invited to adopt these dogs. Animal activist groups partner with the municipality to effectively spread an appeal for adoption. These dogs must have a license, a collar and be taken off the streets.3. Animal activist groups should take responsibility for those dogs that are not adopted within a specified period of time – say three months.
This entire time-bound program is conducted in a transparent manner by a Steering Group comprising of both government and respected community leaders / subject matter experts.
In our opinion, we need to take the “STRAY” out of stray dogs. Dogs out on the street without any ownership should not be an option.
