Wed, Dec 13 2023In general people give more importance to dogs. Somehow it has got dug into the minds of people that the dogs should be given so much importance. When a poor man gets injured or is about to die on the road, hardly anyone comes to help him. But when a dog gets hurt or when someone beats a dog, all dog lovers gather in support of dogs. This happens only with people who have misplaced priorities.

Wed, Dec 13 2023Consistent barking of dogs irritates the senior citizens of neighborhood. The pet dogs should be trained properly. Otherwise its a nuisance to neighborhood as well as to public. If you say anything the dog obeys. But dog owners act like deaf and dumb persons. Indicate the dogs like shut up, keep quiet. The dogs will obey. They are more than a human being. The best method is to give complaint to the appropriate authorities about this barking nuisance.
