 Every
dog has its day
The prevalent cold wave in
the region has made even animals search for warm shelters. Not many
animals were seen around as they were caught lazing in the sun. Just
like the mongrel who made himself comfortable on the bonnet of a car
parked in the sun outside the Congress Bhawan. It was a rare sight and
passers-by were stopping to have a second look at the dog. But nobody
dared disturb him!
