Dog owners and Dog names.

Before I proceed I wanna make it very clear that I don't hate dogs. Not until I accidentally step on their shit. I am just writing this to vent out my frustration of doing badly in end semesters. But let's not deviate from our topic. Let's see what is wrong with dog owners.

First of all dog owners are hypocrites. Don't agree? Here's an example. Remember a few months back when everybody on facebook was going bat shit crazy about a certain Yulin festival in China. Reportedly they boiled dogs alive during the festivals. Facebook went in to a frenzy. Worst affected were dog owners. One even went as far as starting a petition. Bro, it's China. Unka facebook aur twitter pe banned hai. No one is going to give a rat's ass about it. And hypocrisy was at it's heights when half of those dog owners were non-vegetarians. Bro tu machli, bakri aur murga khata hai. Tu bol hi mat.

You see dog owners are a lot like people who are in a relationship. They both show off how much they love their dogs ( pun intended ) , occasionally post pictures of themselves with their respective dogs and share all kinds of shitty relationship/pet goals post. The only difference being the loyal dog stays with you for his entire lifetime.

But the most worrying similarity is with the names. People in relationships call each other with weird nicknames. Dog owners have weird names for their dogs too. So here are some of the names that defy the logic as to why you should have them as names for your dog.

1. MOTI ( Read as Moti in pearl and not as Moti for fat) : It's a very common dog name in India stereotyped by Bollywood and made popular by poor/middle class  dog owners. Gareeb admi ke paas jo sabse keemti saman hota hai usko woh Moti hi bulayega.

2.TOMMY: Another stereotypical Bollywood dog name. This name is usually given by middle class dog owners jisko Foreigners se jyada pyar hota hai. To be honest we Indians will get more excited if we see two White people on road than if we see a lion or a cheetah. That affinity towards goras led to dog being named as Tommy.

3.TIGER: This is the most fucked up and one of the most common dog names one can come across. It's okay if you name a cat as tiger as they come from the same family. But a dog named Tiger? Seriously? So what if you bring a pet cat and just randomly decide "Are ye toh kutta jaise lag raha hai. Isko main Bhedia(Wolf) bulaunga."

4.CADBURY: Not so common a name. But I have come across dog owners who have named their dogs as Cadbury. I have two problems with this name. One, you are a dog owner and you should know that chocolate is harmful for your dog. Second, the only thing of a dog that even remotely matches cadbury is his tatti.

P.S: Sorry dog owners. Maafi _/\_
