Trishika Kumari Wadiyar of the erstwhile royal family said here on Monday that Indian dogs were resilient and better suited to local conditions and hence people should adopt them as pets instead of purchasing pedigreed dogs.
She was speaking after inaugurating a separate enclosure for dogs with disabilities at the People For Animals (PFA) at Bogadi. Ms. Trishika said Indian dogs were less prone to diseases compared to breed dogs and hence would have less health issues.
The new facility for disabled dogs – funded by Dr. D.L. Madhavi, will cater to dogs disabled and incapacitated by accidents of if they are victims of human cruelty or congenital diseases. PFA office bearers, staff and others were present.
