A Dog is Man’s Best Friend

A dog is an animal for sure like the others, but however as we all know it is a fact that a dog is man’s best friend. Dogs guard our home and bark at the intruders of our territory. During my childhood days I use to hear a story where the dog once lived in the jungle, he befriend with the elephant thinking that the elephant is the most powerful and fearless of all. But, to the dismay since the dog was a habitual barker, the elephant told the dog that if he continues to bark than the lion would come to hunt for elephants thus he learned that Lion was more powerful. The dog went on to befriend with the Lion and in the meantime he continued to bark almost every time so was also the lion who told the dog that if he continues to bark than men will come to hunt the lion. Therefore, he went to live in a man’s home. As usual the dog would bark to the utter surprise of the dog; the man extolled the dog to continue barking. It was after which the dog and the man became a perfect team to chase after wild animals where the dog will bark when he see any wild animal and the man will chase and shoot the wild animal. After their hunt, the man will bring the catch of the day to his home and will happily savour the flesh and the bones were given to the dog.

Dogs are more sensible and intelligent. However, if you are not convinced with the story let me cite you another story which happened to be true in a place near the sea shore in Kerala when Tsunami occurred, all the people ran out of their homes to save their lives as the sea began to devour every inch of their home. In was at that moment, one particular family ran out not knowing that their infant baby is stuck inside their home, their dog also ran out. As the dog is a sensible animal he ran back towards the home even though the family members were calling their pet. The dog went inside the home and came out biting the shirt collar of the baby to which the people who witnessed the incident had an emotional sight looking at the Superman who bravely went inside the home risking the furious sea rise. A dog story does not end there itself; we see so many dogs used as bomb detectors since they are excellent sniffers. Dogs help men to save lives from detonation. In India, A dog ‘Rocket’ would be receiving a gallantry award in India for being part of the elite National Security Guard (NSG) commando team that took on terrorists holed up insight the Panthakot Air Force during the Panthakot terrorist attack. Dogs are intelligent and they are known to be able to learn many things. We find the dogs walking, jumping in the rings of fire. I saw a dog in an animal show driving and even saw a dog playing a piano. In the year 2015 we witnessed the Britain’s Got Talent show where the dog called Matisse and his trainer Jules O’Dwyer won the talent promo, it was second of such win by a dog show. It was really enthralling to see a dog walking through the ropes, jumping, walking and much more.

Coming back to the heading of the discussion where we are revolving around banning of dog meat. In around the world we find that since dogs are most sensible animal they are treated as an important species among the animals. Many activists voice their concern about the killing of dogs openly around the world since dogs are men’s best friend. To voice out my opinion selling of dog meat openly should be banned but consumption depends upon those who loves to relish the meat.
