Meet the street dogs of Mumbai. One snoozing under a vendor’s cart; or a puppy following a passerby, his tail wagging enthusiastically; or the good-natured dog keeping a bored watchman company The roads are their playground and they have made the city and the people their own.  Penned by Aras, chief executive officer at the Welfare of Stray Dogs, an NGO that provides stray animals medical care and vaccination.
