Eleven Indian street dogs stand tall in my memory. The canines in Chowk Dogs are based on real animals. They are probably still wandering the streets even as I write this. Their character versions are fictionalized and exaggerated, but the two dogs described in the first chapter are closest to their real-world counterparts. During a visit to the market, I watched as the smaller canine defied the brute ferocity of a massive beast. Her determination against all odds inspired this story. A monstrous street dog displayed bristling black fur, an upraised tail, stiff legs, and powerful bearing. He scanned the avenue, scrutinizing each occupant. The alpha roamed without fear. He had long ago established dominance in Old Delhi. Chandni Chowk was his territory. The streets, the park beyond, the markets, all of it and every dog within belonged to him and him alone. From litter to grave, street dogs navigate a canine hierarchy immeshed inside a hurry-scurry human world. A pair of lively ...
