During a recent visit to the IIT Campus, this mother to be, was surrounded by 6 stray dogs (the domestic roadside mongrels). She had a lame left leg, could hardly move and she just did not have a chance.
I had no option but to unclamp my Monopod and swing it around to shoo these mongrels away. We reported this to the security guards who promptly set about chasing the dogs out and also promised that she would be closely monitored untill the delivery.
This was the gratifying look immediately after the dogs were gone . . . . . i'll treasure this moment forever, even at the cost of maybe crossing the line, in terms of interfering with natures course (love to have your views on this topic as well as the photograph).
I also have no way to confirm if she did make it through, apart from hoping and praying she did . . . !
