The Tiger Hound- Part 8

Disastrous ! Horribly disastrous! He had become a laughing stock among the villagers. He could feel his dreams were going to shatter. His future was clear now. He was going to have raw fish and be called as useless by everyone rest of his life. His heart broke. A dream was going to be a dream now.

His dog 'Sheru' failed to impress the dog trainer. Their act was stopped in between and the score was given. Sheru had scored the least. Hence it was eliminated. Prasun held the natural made leash tight and walked back home.

As he walked towards his mud hut, the bitter memories replayed. He was furious at himself as well as the dog. He blamed himself for even thinking about using a stray dog. He should have taken the riskier route of stealing his relative's dog. But he thought teaching this damn stray dog would be easier.

When he reached home, he tore the dog's leash. The dog stayed quiet and stared at it's master. 'Sheru' could realize that his master was disappointed. It wanted to lick it's master's face. But it stayed back. It didn't want to face his wrath.

Prasun sat alone as the dog left him to his state. He cried first few minutes, Negativity flowed in his mind, mocking at his failures. While his mind consoled him to be strong and accept the failure with mind that nothing has ended.

His mind was not strong enough to overcome his heart. He cried hard. He didn't want to settle with plain fish and useless tag. He had one option to remove the tag. Even that was gone. He felt desperate. Nothing was left now. He was useless before. Now he added funny man tag too.
