In early 2007 I spent some time in India. During that time I photographed the local dogs in their environment. Today’s photo demonstrates the order of things in India. Cows are considered Sacred and Holy. They are plentiful and roam the streets freely. They live by scavenging for scraps and off the charity of humans. In this photo, the calf has been given some food by the people in the background. The puppy decides that he wants some and is eventually shooed away by the people so that the calf can continue to eat in peace. The poor pup is very hungry and will do anything for food, even if is is just a few leaves.
