The Case of the Appearing Dog Jackets

It's a mystery: ever since winter descended upon Delhi about a month ago, street dogs have started sporting a new look: winter jackets! Blankets have been strapped on street dogs, who swagger around looking a bit silly, but definitely a lot warmer. It's really a wonder to me who is doing this. The cutest dogs tend to be the ones bundled up, and certainly all the puppies I've seen. Such a contradiction to the way we usually see street dogs treated here; one of the rare animal instances that warms the heart.

And another, seen in Jaisalmer last month:


A litter of puppies pile on top of one another to get warm. Each puppy wants to bury its nose in the middle of the heap... the snuggle pile constantly moves, as each new puppy piles on.
