Stray dogs are more than animals struggling to survive. They teach us valuable lessons:
This puppy loves to run around the neighborhood supermarket. She's always "well dressed" with her shiny fur (even if it's a little disheveled) and she strategically chooses her spot to receive treats from shoppers. She may have tried to enter the home lane as well, but Lola knows her charm works best outside.
Max has inexhaustible energy. You see him running from one end of the street to the other, "training" for the next big cat-catching race. He's so fast that sometimes even his tail can't keep up.
A true expert, Gogu can assess the contents of a trash bag with just a sniff. He may not be able to distinguish between a red and a white wine, but he certainly knows which basket has the best "harvest" of the day.
With an ever-cheerful expression and ears that flap in all directions, Tina knows how to brighten the day of anyone she walks past. Bonus: he also knows how to "dance" on two legs if you give him a biscuit.
Bob never sleeps on the job. He is always in position, keeps a close watch on all the activities in the area and barks authoritatively if someone does not follow the "rules" of the street. He is the protector of school-going children and a "consultant" for passers-by.
Fifi is small but extremely flexible. You will always find her lying in the strangest positions on the hood of cars or in cardboard boxes too small for her size. She is an artist of relaxation, and sleep is her main occupation.
If you're missing a slipper from the yard, chances are Ziggy has added it to his "collection." It doesn't discriminate – from flip flops to boots, everything is museum piece for this adorable thief.
Wherever Mimi finds a blanket, it instantly becomes her throne. Whether it's a randomly thrown towel or a rug, she knows how to turn any place into a luxury palace.
Coco takes parking very seriously. Every car entering or leaving is thoroughly checked. If you want to park your car, Coco charges you a "petting" fee or a food bar.
Specializing in "strategically sitting" in the middle of the road or on the sidewalk, Ricky forces everyone to slow down and pay attention. He is convinced that relaxation is contagious and tries to spread it by his own example.
Street dogs can't change the world, but we can change their world:
