For every cat in Croatia there’s a dog in New Delhi. Basking in sunbeams, lounging in corners, the dogs of India wander the busy avenues and narrow backstreets, sometimes alone but often in numbers. They eye your food longingly, but keep their distance. With so many dogs on the streets, it’s no surprise that the cats have disappeared.
Prominent ribs and scruffy fur leave no doubt that they are strays. They scratch at fleas. They chase monkeys for fun and chase rats for food.
