With stray dogs barking hither and tither, and people walking and running, are some of the scenes witnessed currently on Goan streets and beaches at dawn of the day. Trapped in a never ending frenzy, at times the hunter becomes the hunted. As was the case wherein a girl runner was chased by stray dogs, but was saved just in the nick of time. Unfortunately, she was bitten by these canines to make the matters worse. The authorities through sterilization should keep the stray dogs' population under control. Furthermore, shelter homes run by government ought to take care of these stray canines, by keeping them in their safe custody. Moreover, a little caution is also required while travelling on the paths frequently visited by these canines. Sadly, such type of incidents arouse considerable distaste amongst the local populace and the tourists. It also poses a significant threat to everyone as a community. Eventually, the authorities concerned should implement certain quality measures to preserve the environmental integrity of the village.
