Bhopal: Stray dogs give us bad memories often when we are riding a two-wheeler and find one chasing us or coming in front from nowhere. Experts say a dog marks its territory and hates trespassing. Whenever a bike enters its area it becomes a case of encroachment after which the dog chases the vehicle just to drive it away.
However, there is another side to the story as rising population of dogs and their ill treatment is responsible for the same. Most of the puppies die of being crushed under vehicles which makes the dogs feel that every speeding vehicle is a potential killer and needs to be driven off their area.
Beyond that, seldom do we think twice before reckless honking as that disturbs and irritates animals. We also ignore the fact that there are bikers who kick dogs and speed off just for fun. However, there are a few who even do not bother spending from their pockets and are engaged in the service of these strays.
