BE MONSOON Ready

When early humans started domesticating animals for its use and self-protection, these animals were forced to enjoy the man-made confinement and luxuries and slowly but steadily, got used to the overwhelming care and nourishment provided by man, thereby moving away from using their natural instincts for survival and gain.

Out in the wild, animals are exposed to all weather forces and their body is suitably adapted to enjoy the benefits of the changing weather. They are blessed with self-curing capabilities. Varieties of animals are seen, world over, depending upon the geographical and climatic conditions prevailing therein. The animals in the coldest regions, which experience harsh winters and snowfall, have a thick double coat, which supports them during minus temperatures and blow their coat when climate warms up a bit. Animals in the desert with scorching heat and very little rainfall are used to storing water in their body and these, sweat less to keep a water reservoir within them. Their paw pads, ears, tails, mouth, abdomen etc., are all varied and suit a very definite purpose in their lifetime. Wild animals also groom themselves naturally, by running, brushing against shrubs and trees, helping each other groom and maintain a good physical hygiene. They are always physically active and act upon need. They will hunt when hungry, rest when tired and drink when thirsty, as opposed to our house pets, who have to follow a routine schedule depending upon OUR convenience.

We 'created' dependant animals, opposed to their independent nature. That is their genetic makeup, the very instinct we call, Animal Instinct. They have a ticking clock in their system which signals their brain for hunger, thirst, mating desire, socializing, pack mentality, hierarchy and much more. As we enjoy each and every aspect of human life, our dogs have a life too, that of a free will. Living with us humans, in our household, they have learnt to live their life with us. Unable to provide them with the wild, free-run atmosphere of the wild, they are 'trained' to make cohabiting a successful living idea.
