Remembering my dog - (Guest post by Amrita Paul)

Amrita Paul reminisces her furry friend Bebu in this guest post, ‘Remembering my dog’.  As a kid, if someone asked me about my favourite animals, I would say dogs, elephants, and dolphins. I knew I could never keep the latter two. As for dogs, well, I was scared of them, but my dad was also strict enough to say that I could have one the day I become responsible. These efforts brought me closer to a number of strays with whom I developed an irreplaceable bond. And, I even made a few human friends on the way. What you lose when you lose your dog
