How many of us own pets? How many of us own pets that are ageing? I am someone who falls in both the categories, and I must say that I am a worried soul. One, as all of us would agree, at the thought of losing a pet, in my case my 12 year old boxer ‘Buddy’, and the second one which just occured to me a few days back, what does one do with the ‘body’ after the demise? I am sure you would want to pay some respect to your pet, who has accompanied you for the last so many years. You wouldn’t want to just dump him in some vacant plot or just get rid of him by throwing him in some water body!! At least I would not want to do that! Don’t you think there should be some designated place to perform the last rites of your dear pet, some place which is away from the crowd, some place which is guarded; some place where he can rest in peace? I happened to see a programme on television, where they were talking about a burial ground in Pune, which has specially been made for pets. I am sure if Pune can manage it, so can Dehradun. I wish someone would empathize with me and help me and so many people like me with this noble cause. Any takers?

Ya Sir! I agree with you. My ten month pet(dog)"Shaggy" died due to some disease. That was the worst day of my life. But I had to burry him as all people used to do "burry them in an empty plot". But believe me Sir! I didn't liked this but i had to. Sir! I support u n can assure u that if any help possible for this cause would be needed ,I will be there.
