Hi. I belong to a Hindu family.My grandfather was a Shepard. He had around 60 sheeps and 3 dogs. I grew up taking care of the dogs. As my grandfather died, my grandmother was forced to sell the sheep's. But she kept the dogs. I was then still taking care of the dogs. But after the time all dogs died , of natural death. My family still has a cow and a Shepard dog. We treat cow as a goddess and dog as the protector of the goddess. We treat the dog more than a family member. I came from northern India, I usually take my dogs to trekking because my grandfather was a Shepard and he always took his herd to the mountains.
