Considering the phrase "a dogs life" doesn't mean the same thing in India. Dogs have it hard. All of the strays I saw were flee-bitten, dirty, rotting scavangers. Poor guys.
I once saw a medium sized dog with cow utters that dragged on the ground. A cow-dog. You don't see that in Minneapolis.
A friend of mine once remarked, "it'll change your thinking to go someplace without a social safety net," which is true. Considering this, it surprises me to realize that we even have a social safety net for animals. Animal shelters are a wonderful thing.
Like yesterday's shot, I think this one has the funk. I necessarily spot metered on the dome of the tomb so it wouldn't overexpose and handled bringing out the shadows in post-processing.

I love how the temple seems to glow in the background and how you've framed it with the trees... The dog definitely looks like it's need of some loving though. I think I would have a hard time seeing the neglect that faces the dogs and cats in many countries--my heart aches just thinking about them...

You think sharing sad stories of helpless animals will protect YOU! You are gravely mistaken my friend and tonight you will DIE!!!!

This is my favorite tomb there, I really would like to get out there and take more photos of this, I love how you've captured this.
Dogs, are.. well, yeah.. they've got it bad here. Especially here in Hyderabad.. but then most people are just concerned with gettting food on their plates and that's not going to happen easily if you've got pets to think about.

I am surprised. I thought they believed in reincarnation and as such might end up in a dog in a next life. So I would care for my dog !
But probably I have it all wrong.
Nice picture with the temple in the background !
