Take a tip from Tipu

Tipu lives in Ganeshpuri with his human mother, Yogini (who runs a great guest house, and makes the world’s best chai). He has a bit of a cough that the doctor hasn’t been able to fix. Even Sylvia’s healing session didn’t fix it, but he probably adored the attention.

Tipu doesn’t let his cough get him down. He gets on with his life - checking out new visitors, running out the front gate to see what’s going on in town, and making sure he doesn’t miss out on Yogini’s great food (he’s almost on the podgy side - quite unusual for an Indian dog). And when he needs a bit of a rest, he has a good lie down.

Sounds like a pretty good approach to life, don’t you think?

Loveable, but…

This little puppy was sitting on the road by a pile of rubbish in the Indian village of Ganeshpuri. There are many street dogs in India and most females look like they’ve had several litters. While breeding goes unchecked, little fellows like this one don’t have a lot to look forward to.

Innocent

In a country like India, these little puppies have the odds stacked against them. Fortunately, they don’t know. For the moment, they were contented - as contented as you can be with a half-empty tummy.
