Dog Country- part 1

Once upon a time, a gang of dogs raped a bitch. A passer-by dog thought of saving her & barked loudly at the pack. But the full pack of bastard dogs charged at him and wounded him a little. He got frightened and ran away. He thought that neither do I drink or smoke, a complete teetotaler nor do I eat pork or beef, then my conscience would be clean- my act of cowardly would be covered by my idealistic thoughts that I preach to my fellows. On top such anti-social fights & heroic stunts would not be pleasing to his breed's panchayat. His breed was supposed to study and work hard.

After that incident, the dog got insomniac, lost sleep nor could he eat properly. He lost appetite & started getting thinner by the day. He started becoming more & more reserved and unsocial. Slowly but surely he slipped into doggie depression. He tried meditation, exercise and self-help books all to no avail. Finally one day he decided to end his sorry doggie life and consumed iron nails. But the next day he woke up to find himself in an afterlife that was the same as his last- an exact parallel universe. This world was magical but yet real. Here a dog cared for none but himself and found his destiny, written in an old book. He went to drink water and found that he had developed a distinct scar in his throat and fierce marks on his jaw- like the warriors of ancient lores.
