The sleepy head is oblivious to the market rigmarole and having a dreamy sleep – I generally see him walking the market aisles every now and then, observing the gentry walking past by him. The canine is a foodie and generally has a dedicated set of food givers – mostly shopkeepers who obey him by feeding him with goodies which he likes!
Wagging his tail as usual he
comes to them on one sweet shout or a soft whistle knowingly fully well that
there is something interesting coming up – either a sumptuous meal or slice of
cake or biscuits which is a general evening breakfast of shopkeepers. His conduct
varies from person to person and as I observe him , he has a sense of aristocracy
to his behavior – sometimes he walks with pride as he is the sole owner of
market area he has made his home. There are certainly other meekly canines posing a
stiff challenge to his dominating position in the area he occupies. He has been
into some deadly fights to defend his proprieties and have thus won and earned
his dominance – in the midst of all this he has made some loyalists who always
walk behind his arrogant style – giving me an impression that now he has made
his bodyguards too!
Nowadays, I mostly see him
accompanied with an elegant female companion which he has somehow befriended to
kill his boredom – I strongly guessed that my favorite doggy is now in love 😊.
Whilst I was buying something from the shop, the canine came to me and looked
at me with a gently and poked his nose to have my body smell – a behavior very
unique to certain dogs – the objective being to have a sense of acquaintance.
Today, I saw a scene captivating to my eyes – ‘Sheru’ was fast asleep and seeing him at this state of wellbeing, I asked my shopkeeper friend as to why he is sleeping at this time of evening when whole market is up and running, the market rush and noise does not concern him – the answer came as a shock to me; “‘Sheru’ seems to be heartbroken as he is missing his female companion since two days – a tragedy had stuck his life and whilst they both were crossing the road nearby, a fast approaching car had hit her and she died on the spot – Sheru showed his anger by relentless barking and chasing the car but to no avail. He came back and sat near the almost crumbled body of his love and did not had his food since two days now – he generally has lost all enthusiasm of living , we all shopkeepers are seriously contemplating of taking him to a doctor, though once we have tried thus but he has been growling at us as well. He certainly does not like to be disturbed and wants to live in this state of despondency.”
After hearing the heart-rending love story of my favorite canine, I felt sorry
for him – his predicament was imaginable – I just went near him with an aim to woo him with his favorite cake biscuit which he so eagerly loves and enjoys but
to no avail – he opened his eyes with a little effort and saw me and wagged his
tail as a reciprocative gesture and then slept again – I assume he started to
dream about his lost love – I could equate his feelings with strong sense as I observed
a face of despondent lover! All I said was “May almighty give him strength to
overcome this phase of his life and his beloved rests in peace above – the short
and sweet love story of our Sheru would be ingrained in our hearts and mind in
times to come!
