Dr. Kuhu Roy writes,
Dogs try to mimic the mannerisms of
their departed pack members.
Meet my Stella. She joined the pack post Diwali
closure. She is friendly but was very quiet. I am keeping a daily tab on her,
she is unsterilised and my priority for the coming week.
Ever since Shikari left, Stella is trying very
hard to fill into Shikari's shoes. The toughest thing for me to do every
morning is being at her location. But, Stella, now, jumps into action and
breaks into a dance to cheer me, as though asking if that makes me happy.
Dogs and their therapy tactics.
I always tell her that she is my Stella,
irreplaceable, just like Shikari was.
