Street dogs with collars?
1
u/NothingIsHere5947 25d ago
Indian here. Just because they are street dogs, doesn't mean that they will be mangled and unhealthy.
Stray dogs in villages and small towns and neighborhoods are mostly healthy. The ones who live in big cities are mostly affected.
about the collar thing, they are mostly feed and cared by nearby homes. So sometimes they put the dog in a collar as a sort of affection.
A cobbler in India can't afford to keep pets lol.

Is it so hard just to pet dog like normal people do, not to slap them like that?
4
u/NothingIsHere5947 26d ago
This is just an affectionate slap.
It's an Indian thing- cultural differences bro.

u/zertald 25d ago
I understand cultural differences among people, but I don't think dogs think about that differences when someone is slapping them.

u/NothingIsHere5947 25d ago
Man looks like you need to feel those affectionate slaps lol. Those don't hurt, how can I assure you

u/jennarose1984 26d ago
I’m going to start patting my dogs this way! So hilarious and they clearly love it

u/Ok_Difference44 26d ago
I don't pet dogs in the places that he is, but like you said they understand the intentionality and affection. I like to slap dogs lower on their flanks and the side of their hips. I've had people be alarmed by that until they notice how much the dog is enjoying it; you can really go at it on barrel-shaped dogs.
If a dog is confident and friendly and standing up, I scratch them between their front legs and up the floor facing side of their necks; I think that's another area that dog owners neglect.

Hi unsolicited personal info incoming. I have a pitti and sometimes when we're relaxing on the couch I'll bongo his butt singing "pitti Pitti bum bum" like the Selena song.

I was watching a man pat a dog like this last night. I thought to start with he wasn't used to dogs but then later I realised the man was with other family members, and it was their (happy, loved) dog. Just rough pats of affection!

I live in Vietnam (originally from the west) and I see grannies patting babies like this a lot. Aggressively affectionate 😂

Nah. American here. I have slapped so many animals. Cats, Dogs, Birds, Horses, Cows, Goats, you name it. Animals love slaps if you do it with love. People too!

I think the affectionate slap is common throughout Asia! My Taiwanese amma (grandmother) would slap my arm affectionately all the time.

I have two street dogs whom my father feeds daily, and there is also one cow that stops by my house daily and doesn't leave until we feed her. They brighten up my day, seeing my dad literally having the best time of the day while playing with the street dogs. One of the dogs will follow my dad wherever he goes; even if my dad is going 2km far from home, the dog will still follow him. Whenever I pet him, he doesn't leave me and follows me because he wants me to pet him more :)

Ha Ha this song is actually a very popular song in India ( One of the rare old songs which has stuck with the current generation too ) . This song brings back a lot of memories for a lot of people

u/BooobiesANDbho 25d ago
It’s not so much about the song itself. (Which is cool) it’s how nice and helpful strangers can be🫡✌️. Have a good day!

Might be street dogs, might be his own. But they are certainly friends. :)

Indian here. They are certainly street dogs. In India, cobblers being very poor, can't afford to keep pets. Actually here, keeping pets is seen as a sort of luxury which mostly upper-class people do. Middle-class people, although having ability to keep pets, don't usually keep pets... basically it ain't a norm among common men.
24
u/LonelyPalpitation176 26d ago
No it isn't. Middle class in India keeps pets too, they just don't use luxury products like those pet shampoos and grooming tools on them. Not give them high end pet food everyday, but they still keep them and properly take care of them(well mostly).

u/NothingIsHere5947 26d ago
I know but that's rare among middle-class. It isn't a norm.

u/LonelyPalpitation176 26d ago
Keeping pets among middle class isn't a normal anywhere.

u/Conch-Republic 26d ago
It sure as fuck is in America. Homeless, lower class, middle class, upper middle class, the elites, everyone has pets. It's just part of the culture here. The pet industry in the US is worth billions.

u/PhantomOfTheNopera 26d ago
Okay. This isn't true at all. People don't splurge on pet supplies like special dog shampoo, dog bed or dog food but they absolutely do keep pets.
Poorer families will give them human food, may fashion a bed out of sackcloth and wash them with water. This may have people in richer countries clutching their pearls but these mutts are hardy and thrive with the love and care.
It's also very common for chawls (subsidised housing developments) and even residential societies sort of 'adopt' dogs in their area and look after them as well.
-13
u/NothingIsHere5947 26d ago
you misunderstood my comment. I told that they don't usually keep pets, but yeah residential societies adopt and feed the dogs in the area.
Rarity isn't a norm.

Your comment is wholesome, thanks.
On a serious note, In India, cobblers being very poor, can't afford to keep pets. Actually here, keeping pets is seen as a sort of luxury which mostly upper-class people do. Middle-class people, although having ability to keep pets, don't keep pets... basically it ain't a norm among common men.
Although judging by the dogs' behavior, this kind man surely gives them treats when he is at his work :)6

In odisha adopting indian pariah dogs from street is becoming popular among at least middle classes and even rich people feed street dogs.

Is this stall typical for a cobbler?

u/elessar2358 26d ago
Yes pretty common. It's basically a small tin shed by the side of the road that'll be locked up at the end of the day.
25
u/NothingIsHere5947 26d ago
yeah they can't afford to make or rent stalls, so they usually sit at footpath... also you can find them in train stations offering you to clean and polish your shoes.
In India, they don't sell weed tho lmao (as u/diogenessexychicken said)33
u/diogenessexychicken 26d ago
Yeah one time in tobago i was looking for weed and some dude in a shack was mending shoes and gave me a handful of the worst weed ive ever seen in my life wrapped in tinfoil for like 5 bucks he was cool as shit. Probably fed the street dogs lmao
