These two dogs live in Udaipur, in the Lal Ghat area near Lake Pichola.
Udaipur is known for its lake, home to the opulent Taj hotel that sits in the middle of it. The hotel was the location for the Bond movie Octopussy, and all around the town are signs advertising this - presumably a way of establishing credibility with the Western tourists who visit.
My mum says Udaipur is one of her favourite places in India - even though she’s not a Bond movie fan. The dogs certainly look like they love it!

I got this email from some new friends recently. Aren’t I lucky!
Our Dad Laurie was talking to your Mum at work yesterday and she told him about your website and blog. This sounds pretty cool so we thought we’d drop you a line to introduce ourselves and give you the link to our webpage.Anyway, Mum and Dad are running a bit late for work this morning so we’d better be a bit cooperative and get moving.
Our website is at: http://www.geocities.com/longstrider88
And we are: Raven (I’m 11), Odin (I’m the special one), Zeena (I’m the water baby) and Zeus (I just do what everyone else does).
By the way, Zeus is on the left in the photo and Raven is on the right.

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?

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.
