Ambassador of Love, Peace, and Compassion

Do you like pets, especially dogs? I love dogs and I have two pet dogs. In this pandemic, you may have seen people abandoning their pets. Imagining abandoning your pets just because you think that you will get a virus from your buddy? I get so angry with such people!

You may wonder why am I talking so much about pets and dogs today? Today I am going to chat with someone who cares a lot about dogs! And introduce you to a brand new book titled ‘The DOGtrine of Peace,' written by none other than our own favorite, Manjiri Prabhu.

It was seven in the morning as I rose from my bed. Usually, the time me waking up is 6 in the morning, but on Sundays, I keep an extra hour of nap. The call was at ten in the morning though.

I freshened up and stepped into the kitchen. Early morning coffee is something that wakes me up fully. I made coffee and some breakfast for myself and sat calmly on the sofa.

As I drank my coffee and ate the toast, I thought of what I wanted to speak with Manjiri. There was so much I wanted to ask her about this exciting new book…. I was online at ten and waited for her to join. After about two minutes I could see her picture on my iPad.

Hi!, I was quite excited.

Hi, she replied, enthusiastically.

I was ready with my questions for Manjiri. It was a unique book for me. The DOGtrine of Peace, an enticing title it is, isn't it?

LOVE FOR DOGS

Being a dog lover, I wanted to know what inspired Manjiri to write about dogs. And why dogs only, why not other animals like cats? I was curious. Dogs are an essential part of the book. What is the inspiration behind it? I asked.

She gave it a thought for a minute. I have always loved dogs. To me, they are beings of love and light and their unconditional love is legendary. Dogs have been a part of our lives for thousands of years and we have taken them for granted.
