The city has many dog lovers
By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: Taking care of dogs is not an easy task. There are many dog owners in Navi Mumbai who face variety of problems while taking care of their dogs. Those who possess female dogs face more problems than the ones who have male dogs as pets.
Paresh Mehta, a resident of Nerul, says, “Female dogs make a lot of fuss and they always are facing some or the other kind of health issue. The most headache part is when these female dogs face menstrual cycle and also when they are pregnant. But this is not the case with male dogs which from the fitness angle is no problem at all to their owners. The male dogs are fun to play with when they are puppies but once they grow up there is need to keep a close watch on them since they are always  in search of female dogs to mate with.”
But there are some NMMC officials who find all these dogs owned by pet owners very problemmatic since these dogs tend to spoil the beauty of the city like Navi Mumbai which is built in a very well planned manner. These dogs dirty the well planned footpaths or posh places which exist in the city. It is NMMC ultimately and not the dog owners who have to answer for the mess created by these creatures.

In spite of all these problems created by these pets, there is no dearth of animal lovers who are always eager to have dogs as their pets. Some of these dog lovers also come up with dog adoption camps so that people who love dogs can come to camp and choose the one they would like to adopt. Such is the love for dogs that many residents in the city harbour.
