Speeding vehicles run over dogs every day across the stretches of roads and highways of our country which is a distressing phenomenon; from small roads to highways this phenomenon exists.
Recently I was travelling to Puttaparthi, on two instances small puppies were seen crossing the road and the driver of the KSRTC bus was considerate in stopping the bus to let the pup pass.
Dogs cross busy roads in distress and confusion trying to bolt across the road landing up being over-run; a tragic phenomena. Recently a very amusing thing happened. A fully grown dog was standing beside me very confused to cross the road.I requested some damsels near-by to help the dog cross the road which they did.What the dog did on crossing the road left me speechless. It was wagging its tail and jumping in joy near the damsels so as to say Thank-You.
Some solution for this problem must be found at all levels. This menace for all practical purposes does not exist on the Bangalore-Mysore Express-Way because the road is fenced on both sides. National Highways Authority of India and other departments must find some comprehensive solutions.One of it would be to build conduits under the road for dogs to pass involving all forms of roads negating the need for dogs to bolt across roads.
Some brainstorming might be needed at all levels across the country to prevent this un-warranted incidents on our roads. International institutions can give us inputs as to how this issue can be tackled.
