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.

Not all the dogs in India have a hard life. This is Rani, and she’s a very fortunate dog. She lives in Ganeshpuri with her human mum, Yogini, and is well fed and loved. She also has some doggy brothers and a sister: Shakti, Ilu and Tipu.
Rani is a very regal girl, but she has a gentle heart and nature.
And don’t you just love those crossed paws!

This poor little puppy is one of many stray dogs that live on the streets of Ganeshpuri, in the state of Maharashtra in India.
Life for street dogs in India is very harsh. Most have bad flea infestations and mange. They are malnourished and eat only the meagre scraps that no one else wants. Many are injured, with damage to their feet and legs from being run over by vehicles on crowded roads.

This is my friend Teddy (you’ve met him before). He lives in Geelong, about an hour and a half away from here. My mum met Teddy today in person. She said he’s every bit as adorable as he looks in this photo.
Teddy showed my mum some of the toys he got for Christmas. He got a squeaky chicken, a big blue fluffy bone, and quite a lot more. Teddy’s a spoilt boy. But mum says I am too, so I guess we’re alike in that way.
And Teddy has a few quirky little habits like me - he was sticking his nose in mum’ pockets to see if she had any hankies he could play with, or tissues he could eat. I have to confess to having a bit of a penchant for eating tissues myself. I don’t know my mum freaks out about it. It saves her filling up the rubbish bin with them.
Mum took a few photos of Teddy today - they’re on Flickr if you’d like to have a look.
