Dogs of Delhi

While we were in Delhi a few weeks ago we both were amused by the dogs that we saw around the public places we went. The dogs are almost certainly "strays" or "street dogs", but there generally seemed healthy, so they must have been getting a fair share of hand outs. While most people don't take ownership of these dogs, they also don't normally cause them harm either. Most of the dogs are sleeping with people walking all around, so it is clear that they feel no threat. We hear occasional stories of dogs being poisoned or rounded up when they seem to be causing problems, but mostly they roam free and live off whatever they can get.
