MISSING GOOGLE

This is the story of a dog called Google...and how he came into my life and was taken away by the actions of a rather mean goup of people.(BACKDROP Of This is property dispute)

One evening my bro and self returned from one of our many visits to the cop shop based on false complaints by you know who.As I entered the home, my brother who was shutting the garden gate called out to me,and when i turned to look..there he was curled up and shivering,skinny and scared.

I stood there and without any hesitation the sweet dog ran into my arms,he was so thin and inspite of having a collar round his neck it was obvious he was lost or abandoned and did not know how to fend for himself on the streets.The colony I live in has a pack of dogs (i help look after them and they are my best friends) and if I let him go he would be attacked.

I was really worried as to how I was going to handle the situation because the environment at home is so hostile that I feared for this lil dog.My brother and myself fed him and then wrapped him in a towel and kept him under a shelf in the garden.I could not sleep becasue I knew he was IN DANGER. We covered the shelf with bit of plastic and somehow he stayed put there the whole night.

   The next day we began making enquiries in the area if anyone had seen how he got into the garden, but no one had any leads for us. I knew i had to get him away so i made contact with ngo'S and dog lovers. i asked my friends to take him,spread the word. i also posted on  fb,but everywhere it was  what breed????.




One local said his cousin would take him and so i let him go..i gave them some money and they said they would come and tell me how he was doing and that I could visit anytime. i had no intention at all of keeping him in that hell hole i live in so I probably just jumped at the first opportunity to get him away to safe place .I still remember how I gave them the rope with which I had used to keep him from going in the house..he refused to go...and looked at me so sadly..I must have died a million times in that moment..but i knew i had to be strong and let him go....for his own safety.

i spent the next two days...constantly looking at the spot where he had been sleeeping..in the flower bed and only a mat to shield him from the rain...i cried so hard...

Two days later some a delivery boy from the Pizza shop came rushing to my house and told me that they had seen Google tied to bike outside the pizza shop on the main road.I rushed there and right enough he was lying there,looking worse than when he had come to me...with friction marks, slight wounds on his legs....like welts...I took him straight home.My brother was a bit apprehensive coz it was difficult times for us with our aunt and her daughters who were trying to dispposess us. I had to literally fight my way into the kitchen to even make a cup of tea for my Brother and self.the situation in the house was very hostile and we were in a war zone..how was I going to keep Google safe.But I refused to let go of him till i found a home as in a real home...when he came back from this first attempt to have him adopted.he refused to eat and just lay quiet and had the saddest look in his eyes...probably questioning my reasons for giving him away to those people,coz they obviously conned me and abused him....and left him without food for two days.I sat with him that whole nite in the verandah because it rained so heavy,the tiles from the roof were falling....but I always had him on a leash...I never let him in the house..ever.We carried on like this for two weeks until he got stronger.

When he was better, my brother took him to a shelter at Bandra but they refused to keep him coz he was healthy and the dogs they had were very senior and were sick.They told my brother that we should adopt him ,but my brother explained our predicament. so the lady said she would help by spreading the word.Googlec ame back again..he was so happy to see me..

I was even more determined, that enough was enough I was going to keep him with me till i found a home and my aunt could do what she wanted...coz the house is mine too.and her days of bossing were long gone.

.(my grandma house and my dad is the son of the house)

I was pushed I was abused....long story...atrocities continue..but thats another post.....

Anyway so now I make a complaint and she is quiet...but ...then 26 August cop comes and takes me and bro to station they have claimed we are strangers in the house and have kept the dog to harm her.....we give him the real truth..Cop softens but says that I have to remove the dog because i have no license so i say i am just looking for a  home..he says remove the dog till i get a license.So i say that ok..i will  She SAYS THAT IF THE DOG BARSK SHE WILL CALL THE POLICE.....

ok so i comply with Cops and remove the dog immediately,its raining now .. so i sit with Google under a shed,and really mad at such cruelty.....my brother too sits with him...Google is traumatized..he knows something is wrong....i start making calls..really at my wits end....

Then a miracle..the landlord who is aware of all the bad stuff happening in the family...passes by in his car...he has a heart and gives me the key to the neighbours house above my home..and allows me to use the landing  space for as long as I want.

Google was confined here....for a few more weeks...i would take him for his walks...struggle to get him fresh food coz animal haters did not want me to even give him water from the house.all the good souls i knew were trying really hard to find him a home....He felt my pain...howling pitifully if I so much as left the house to go to the market....I was too afraid to leave him....because  knew he was in danger....

My neighbour would watch him when I had to go to court..even the security guards in the colony would keep him company,and take him for a walk...

He would not want to come back to this home of his..and would tug at his leash when I brought him back from his walks.At night I would sit with him with a candle so he would not be alone in the dark....my friend who is also crazy about dogs would also come and join us in this little space under a staircase.Thank you ....I could swear that Google smiled when she came to see him...Pics says it all..

Life was a struggle...the search for a home was on...Priyanka,,,she too helped by posting it on Fb....I did my best....FINDING GOOGLE a home was my only priority...

Google was adopted by one of the security guards neighbours in Borivali...this time I did not cry....

for almost a year we were in touch...my brother,myself,my fiance they all helped me to maintain Google....i thought someday I  would get him back..if it was gods will....

.Ok.so Google is out of the house...but hey.... .so you know who is not satisfied....the daughter who pulling the strings is even more miffed (very mild word)...so .....unknown to us the filed a criminal case in Nov,2010.running to court behind our backs.I only receive summons in Sept,2011.they accuse my old aunty,my brother and myself of all sorts....matter is in court..but I have faith....am arguing the matter myself....

BOTTOM Line....you dont win a property matter by using an act of kindness against your opponent.Laws of the land will prevail,but laws of nature will provide justice.

I dont know where Google is...but I pray real hard that he is safe...and happy...Am sorry Google... I did my best..I could have done more maybe...but my hands were tied...and they still want to tie my hands ...

they took him away..today there are 9 dogs in the colony...the pack that have been here..they are all over..and my best friends....like I said laws of nature....I Hope they are not harmed in anyway...

I MISS GOOGLE...EVERYDAY!!!!!!!
