We welcome the Supreme Court’s verdict on the stray dog policy. The court modified its earlier order that required authorities in Delhi and surrounding areas to move all stray dogs into shelters. This decision reflects a balanced and compassionate approach.
A compassionate heart recognizes dignity in every life, human or animal. In this spirit, we at Natraj celebrate through Dogs and Us: Collected Short Stories — India’s first book on dogs written by people from all walks of life—sharing personal stories of their deep connection and bonding with animals.
A few names who have contributed to the book are India’s prominent storyteller Ruskin Bond, comedian and satirist Cyrus Broacha, Bollywood actress Gul Panag, director and producer Meghna Gulzar, politician and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi, singer and mindful speaker Raageshwari Loomba, actress Nafisa Ali, economist Bibek Debroy and many more.
Richly illustrated with photographs, anecdotes, quotes, cartoons, and trivia, the book is a true delight for dog lovers and a heartfelt tribute to the joy and compassion animals bring into our lives.
