Stray dogs are often considered as having nuisance value.
However, many-a-times one can observe a pack of stray dogs outside a housing colony or a building which guards the occupants of the buildings against thefts. These stray dogs start barking when they see a stranger during the night time.
It may not be possible for the occupants to own a pet dog while staying in the flats. Hence the stray dogs do the job of guarding the occupants of the buildings.
It thus becomes the obligation of the people living in the flats to feed these stray dogs. Since eateries and hotels were closed during the pandemic many of these stray dogs went without food for several days.
Animal lovers need to make it a point to feed these stray dogs who are territorial in nature and do not leave the place where they put up.
Some may argue that these stray dogs attack people. However it must be said that these dogs, if fed regularly, can become friendly and guard the buildings and housing colonies by spending the night outside come rain or shine.
