Exercise 10
Write a paragraph within 100 words on how you plan to take care of street dogs. Use the following hints:
[Cruel actions towards street dogs – necessity of looking after them – ways of taking care of the dogs – conclusion]
Be Kind Towards Street Dogs
We can see many incidents nowadays of cruel actions against street dogs. Some actions are so cruel and heinous that we sometimes feel ashamed of being born as humans. Street dogs or stray dogs are, perhaps, the most neglected and ill-treated among creatures around us. As they increase in number, insensitive treatments towards them like stone petting, beating, kicking etc. also mount. Lack of food, shelter, care and security is all that they suffer from birth to death. A wrong notion runs that they bite people. Generally, dogs are meek, loyal animals. They bite only when they are teased and bound to. Other than being nuisance and disturbing, they guard the locality against theft and other hazards. Only a little care, compassionate attitude, sufficient food and a nook can make them true friends to human society. Considering all these aspects, we should acquire friendly behavior with the street dogs as they deserve that love and kindness from us.
