Streetdogs are almost everywhere in India, some are quite fine, getting food from people living nearby, or getting left over food from restaurants, stores… but many are starving, sick and afraid of humans, bc they usually get showed away wherever they are and have had bad experiences with humans. The situation of streetdogs in India made me feel very helpless; there are so unbelievable many of them; we anyway can’t help all of them…but at least we can help some of them; show them love, give them a cuddle, so they learn to trust humans again, and give them left over food or get them some medicine against fleas (very cheap in Indian Pharmacies!).
I can’t remember where exactly I took that picture, but it was somewhere on the way from Himachal Pradesh down to Goa. All together it took us around 5 days with the train to reach Goa, and even if others may have different experiences, I had only good experiences with train-travelling in India and actually enjoyed the days in the train, watching tbe landscape outside and being impressed by the huge variety of nature and landscapes in India.
My first days in Matavenero were so overwhelming…met so many lovely people, found a beautiful place to stay there and discovered the mountains around again, like one year ago…
