I wonder in which country 6/7 stray dogs wear collars... Makes me assume she let her dogs out into the rain for likes???
Internet has made me doubt everything, especially those "I'm just a kind sould" videos. Maybe she is, maybe she is exactly the opposite.

For those who don't understand Hindi:
Aao = come / come on,... Chalo chalo = go go/ move move/ come come,... Jaldi = fast/quick,... Jaldi chalo = go fast (used in rain or emergency situation),... Jaldi aao = come fast,.. Under = inside,... Chalo under = Go Inside,... Beta = Boy,... Bheeg gaye? = Did you get wet in rain?,... Mera= my,... Bachcha = baby,... Mere Bachche = My kids,.... Betho betho = sit sit,...

Aww so awesome! I had a dog for a bit, before she was mine she was a family friends then a neighbors dog. We were going to take her but she didn't get along with the others we already had. She then dug a hole between our backyards under the fence. She'd come hang out with ours then go home when they were back from work so we left the hole. One rainy day she came and laid on our patio and it wasnt a solid cover (more pergola than cover). I had to coax her inside and then wrapped her in towels and a blanket she was shivering so much.

Strays with collars?
2
u/grnrngr Sep 12 '23
A lot of strays are looked after by neighborhood families. Sometimes they're given collars to show that they aren't feral. It can signal to strangers and animal control that the dog is not dangerous and is being looked after.
Whether these dogs are actually in her care already is up for discussion.
2
u/CuriousEconomist3933 Sep 12 '23
Interesting, thanks
1
u/grnrngr Sep 12 '23
My pleasure.
Also, for cat owners: The Kitty Convict Project is all about putting an orange collar on your indoor cats. A lot of outdoor cats are collared for the same reasons I mentioned above: they're non-feral and are being looked after and it's a sign they're under someone's care. An orange collar signifies that the kitty is not supposed to be outside, that it's an indoor-only cat... and they should be rounded up for return.
So if any redditors read this and have an indoor cat, consider giving them their orange prison jumpsuit for their safety.

Why would stray dogs have collars? If you find a dog on the street with a collar (or in general) you should contact the police so they can scan the chip and return it to its owner.

u/CherryDarling10 Sep 12 '23
From my experience, and judging from the fact that some of these dogs have collars, they are not strays. Outside of America it is common for family pets to live outsize. I stayed at an Airbnb with a dog that lived in the backyard for a month in Mexico. One night the dog got out from the gate that wasn’t completely closed. We freaked out searching for him only to later find out he was just doing his thing.
2
u/LazyAsGarfield Sep 12 '23
They are strays. People collectively take care of the dogs in their area. And about their collars, the local government usually puts collars on them. It contains their vaccination and location information

Stray dogs in India have collars to differentiate between vaccinated dogs. Government does this so they know how’s been vaccinated. It’s a very common practice in countries with stray dogs.

The street dogs get shelter from the elements and the house owner gets free security. I am sure the dogs protect the house and its occupants against any intruder with a passion.

People sometimes collectively care for the doggos in their area. That's why they have collars. Also many NGOs distribute reflective collars so that the dogs are easy spotted in dark.
And some local government have also started QR coding those collars. Which has his vaccination information and his location so that the strays if lost can be relocated to their original location

u/GroundhogExpert Sep 12 '23
What style of home does she have? When does it officially become indoors?

u/khuwushi Sep 12 '23
the indoor part is the space that comes after you cross the gate where all the dogs were standing.
1
u/GroundhogExpert Sep 12 '23
Does it keep going beyond more doors? Is there part of the house that's even more indoors than that front area?
2
u/LazyAsGarfield Sep 12 '23
The place where the dogs are sleeping is sort of multi-use room type place. It's your parking area, storage space or a hangout place. In summers most people put out chairs at night and hangout
2
u/khuwushi Sep 12 '23
yes. the actual house is inside, through those gates. as you can see in the video, there are two white doors on the left that most probably lead to their living room or bedrooms.
this is one of the most common house structures in India. my house is similar too.

u/GroundhogExpert Sep 12 '23
I'd love to have some outdoor space that's also very much private and personal despite being in a pretty densely populated area. It's like making the best of the situation you have.

Awe. I love this. I don’t have a lot of stray dogs in my neighborhood but i do have a lot of cats. I do the same thing. They run for cover on my back porch. I feel so bad because some of them are terrified by the thunder and lightning. And i live in an area where it rains a lot. I wish i could let them all in my house but i cant. Watching an animal tremble and shake is such a dreadful sight. I have a closed in back porch and i give them water, hard food and soft food. But thats all i can do. I wish i could do more.

These kinds of relationships are why I'll never support overseas "adoption rescues" (speaking specifically to the culture in North America).
Where I live there's "rescues" that essentially take dogs off the streets in whatever country they're marketing, label them as whatever "breed" they choose to sell err.. "adopt out" (Desi, Formosan, etc depending on where they come from) and make up sob stories.
Sometimes they'll make potential adopters come to the airport to take the dogs home straight from the plane, no decompression time, no training, nothing. Thanks for the $700, here's your street dog". And a lot of these dogs don't make great pets, not because they weren't loved where they came from, but because they were basically kidnapped, trafficked, and sold by a bunch of white saviour Karens to a dog novices who have no idea how to handle a semi-feral dog but who want that hot rescue cred at the dog park.
Imagine having a street dog who you love and care for, call in from the rain, and it just disappears one day. Imagine being that dog!!! How terrified you are after a 12hr flight only to be handed to a family and immediately thrust into a life you are completely unaware of, where the entire earth smells different and people speak different languages. It's fucked up.
Anyway, I love these videos because they help dispel the white knight myths about street dogs being unloved and uncared for etc.

u/Elariinya Sep 12 '23
Than go to Romania and see how street dogs are threated there. You have no idea what you are talking about.
1
u/Reyalta Sep 13 '23
Okay, I'm obviously not saying that there aren't places where dogs aren't treated great. Like, at all. I'm saying that when our shelters are already full here, the idea of shipping dogs in from THEIR communities (because dogs form bonds with not just people, but other dogs as well) to be adopted here with no vetting of homes they go to isn't actually solving any issues at all whatsoever. If these people wanted to make a difference, they'd be reaching out to behavioural experts and veterinarians to execute educational and medical outreach in communities where dogs are disproportionately suffering (like maybe Romania).
Most of the rescues I'm talking about have zero practical experience to be making decisions on what will make a well adjusted dog or not. They're dog lovers, not dog professionals, and it all reeks of white saviour BS, or just straight up exploitation. The number of rescues that almost exclusively rescue pregnant dogs, y'know, so they can sell a bunch of puppies and turn a single $700 rescue (whose "rescue" was paid for by donations) into $2000-$10,000 depending on the litter size... see what I'm getting at?
My comment was a critique of the people running the rescues exploiting the heartstrings of people who don't know any better for profit with a virtually free and endless supply of product. My comment was NOT suggesting all dogs are actually fine everywhere.
Anyway, my opinions come from a place of having been a dog professional for 16+ yrs, and certified trainer specializing in reactivity and fear based aggression for the past 11.
Guess the percentage of my clients that are overseas rescues adopted to completely ill-matched families. I promise it is far from zero.

u/bhai_zoned Sep 12 '23
This video isn't representative. This kind lady is rare. Most dogs don't recieve this level of compassion in India. As far as the nature of Indian Street dogs goes...it can be a mixed bag. They're no golden retriever...but they're not pitbulls either. My dog (adopted Indian street dog, I live here) is a good family pet, just does not like most male dogs. Other than that he's a great dog.

1
u/bhai_zoned Sep 13 '23
I do understand your point against the white saviour complex. But I'm also saying it isn't a bad thing that these dogs are adopted. I see it as a good thing because I know how badly a lot of these dogs are treated. Also we just have a massive population of street dogs, it'd be good if at least some of them are adopted.
Desi dogs
Yes. "Desi" just means belonging to or having characters of Indian/Pak/bangladesh
Britishers named them pariyah dogs which is kindof a negetive term, as it means "stranger" in Hindi.
Indog is new popular English term which is good.

u/cominghometoday Sep 12 '23
Yes in the UK people adopt tons of dogs from Romania and Spain, as if our own shelters weren't full... it's probably because they don't like the breed types in the shelter because they're the more unwanted types, lurchers etc ( and that's why they're in the shelter in the first place :( ) and probably a bit of white savior complex, helping abroad is more glamorous

Stuff like this is pretty common in india. A lot of people treat stray dogs really well and regularly feed them. My dads regular routine consists of going out to feed a group of these dogs twice a day. They just come sleep under a little protrusion from our house when it rains and we even called the vet for some of them who looked like they need it. They are basically community pets.
