FOR A CAUSE

‘A dog’s life’ is narrated by Moti from his home in heaven.

–By Lynn de Souza

Till now … Moti was picked up by Golu from his littermates and brought to Brindavan building, where he meets Tiger (another dog), Harichander (the watchman) and Pinto girl. He gets hurt and is disowned. He becomes a stray dog. He is driven away from Brindavan and he makes the drain, his home. The Pinto girl is concerned about him and brings him food everyday….
