NEW DELHI, India – A weak face, a dull gaze, drooping ears and a tail between the legs. Devastation is conveyed by this dog lying at the gates of a dilapidated and dilapidated building like the spirit of this guard guarding its entrance. The free parking sign indicates a street with cars and people moving around. Maybe that’s why he’s waiting in this place next to a shelter for abandoned dogs, waiting to be adopted. The proverb says: “He who waits despairs.” No wonder if what he wants is for someone to pity him and decide to take him home. There are nearly a million stray dogs in New Delhi; In all of India there are about 62 million. This poses a major challenge to public health and animal welfare across the country, and also to this sad little animal, as the chances of changing its fate are slim.
