00:00In fact, my mom, when I got Phoebe, was like,
00:02she's a street dog, she'll bite anyone.
00:05You know, she comes from that mentality.
00:07Indian breed dogs are also very good.
00:11They are very capable.
00:14And they are also very friendly in the Indian environment.
00:24Okay, Phoebe, sit down.
00:30I don't want to buy a dog.
00:37So I knew that I wanted just to rescue one.
00:41You don't save a dog, the dog saves you.
00:55If we would be researching a dog who is our family member,
00:59as much as we research getting a new phone, a new car,
01:03a new house, inanimate objects,
01:06we spend months and years to get the right thing
01:09so we don't make the wrong decision.
01:29In fact, my mom, when I got Phoebe, was like,
01:32she's a street dog, she'll bite anyone.
01:35You know, she comes from that mentality.
01:44These indigenous dogs called Indian Pariah dog,
01:48that is the pure form of it,
01:50they got mixed with pure breeds in the cities like Spitz,
01:55Golden Retriever, Labrador.
01:56That's what we have over here called Indies,
01:59or stray dogs.
02:09These dogs have a different sort of mind.
02:12They're not lazy.
02:13They're very, very energetic.
02:15She loves, by the way, she loves trash.
02:18So in fact, my trainer used to tell me that for Indie dogs,
02:20you need to, you can't serve food in a bowl all the time.
02:23It gets boring for them.
02:24You need to play it along.
02:26You know, you need to pack it in a box
02:27and ask her to rip the box apart and eat it.
02:29I will raise my Indie dog as I would an expensive foreign
02:53dog, or even a fake one.
02:56Indie dog as I would an expensive foreign dog. First, let's find the equality in treating
03:02them the same way.
03:20So first we have to take away dogs as a status symbol or an image or a reflection of our
03:26family. It should be, you know, that I make the dog happy and the dog makes me happy.
03:31Please adopt, don't shop. There's so many beautiful dogs around you and they all need
03:36love and we have so much of it. So please give it to them.
