The Tiger Hound- Part 6

The dog leaped at him whenever he offered a piece of fish. It offered it's paw whenever he asked him. But everything he asked the dog to do came with a price. It wanted a piece of fish. The dog was very clever. It was like as if Prasun was it's master.

It wanted his constant attention. If Prasun glanced at other side, the dog would runaway to chase small squirrels. It was easily distracted. Prasun had to control the dog and bring back it's focus to it's task. It was tedious. But he had no other option other than running behind the dog.

Twenty fours hour were left for the main event. The dog trainer from US had reached India and the panchayat had gone to the city to receive her. The villagers were excited. They had heard that she was best dog trainer from the place she came from. Their local dogs would be handpicked by her to help them fight the tiger menace.

All the contenders were tough and deserving. They knew the tricks well. However his dog was relatively new to the world of rules. His dog was inexperienced and lacked the qualities of being good dog.

 Ramlal's dog was best among the lot. The tough competition didn't let Prasun sleep. He developed distaste towards food. Maybe as the D day would pass smoothly, he would be relieved. He prayed lord to guard him from all the obstacles. He also prayed that his luck worked this time.

It was afternoon. The sun was burning. The winds blew momentarily , reliving everyone from heat waves.The villagers were called for the gathering. The event was announced. All the contenders with their dogs arrived. Some were confident. Some were nervous. But everyone had their hopes held strong and got ready for the selection.
