The Tiger Hound- Part 5

He never had a pet dog in his lifetime. Training a dog was not his cup of tea. This dog was stray and wild. He knew it wouldn't follow instruction like the other trained dogs. Unfortunately the dog hated him for forcefully capturing it and taking his freedom. It would make sure that his life was a nightmare.

He thought deeply on how he was going to train the dog. He took his dog to watch the other pets and learn some skills. The dog would chase them to bite or pick fight with the other dog instead of learning new tricks. Maybe it was the betrayal from it's own kind that had made it coldhearted.

He also sneaked into Ramlal's house to watch how he trained his dog. He tried the same way with his dog. Unfortunately the dog was very stubborn. It never listened to his commands. It would runaway to it's man made hideout. It would show it's face when it was given something to eat.

Three days were left for the main day. Prasun had the dog. But it was untrained. He was getting frustrated. At some of time, he wanted to give up. But the hope still shined through dark clouds of insecurities and obstacles. He knew he would get his hot fish curry with steamed rice one day. That day he would never have to depend on stale fish.

He had all hopes on the dog. He had to find the way he connected with the dog. The dog wasn't listening to him. He thought about the dog's weakness. Every creature in the earth had weakness. The dog must have one weakness that he could play with.

It was loyal to it's friend last time. Now it must have learnt it's lesson of never trusting anyone. How was he going to make him listen to him. He was having fish when the dog looked at him with eyes begging for one piece. He looked at the fish he had in his hand. He showed the piece to the dog in pretext of offering it. The dog jumped to have the piece. As the dog jumped, he held it more higher until the dog jumped to take a bite. Finally Prasun realized it- The fish was it's weakness.

(To be continued)

P.S: I am using it as pronoun for the dog as the dog is just a thing and not living being for Prasun
