To initiate this project required a great deal of empathy with stray dogs, which wouldn't have been of me, if it weren't for my little sister. Heema Shirvaikar, a petite young lady came into my life about 18 years ago, and taught me to love. As a tiny tot, who could not even speak a word, she would gesture to beckon a dog with her teeny 1 inch fingers, and raucous cheer.
Stray dogs from our street received VIP status when they found the way to our doorstep. My mother had to let go of her precious cream layer on the milk. The tail-wagging, licking, rolling and hopping - it slowly endeared this species to me over time. My sister was a natural at petting and spoiling the dog. And it was just a matter of time, that I too became a pro.
I dedicate this project to you, Heema, for just being there!
