The Stray Dogs of Landour Network - A True Story by a Failed Dog Trainer

In the forested slopes of the Indian Himalaya, where stray dogs and wild creatures live secret lives alongside the residents of Landour, a tormented stray called Pretty appears at Lalitha's doorstep. What begins as an attempt to train Pretty-to better her chances of finding a home-soon turns into something entirely unexpected. As a freshly qualified dog trainer, Lalitha sets out with a plan. But Pretty has one of her own.
With quiet intelligence and a spirit of Ubuntu-I am because we are-Pretty slowly reels Lalitha into her world. First, she brings her pup. Then, she introduces the pack. Before long, Lalitha finds herself feeding, training, and caring for a growing family of multilingual, free-ranging dogs-each one with a story, each one reshaping her understanding of love, resilience, and survival. But just as Pretty had once arrived unannounced, one day, she vanishes-leaving her pup behind. Was that her plan all along? A heartwarming, thought-provoking true story, The Stray Dogs of Landour Network is a journey into the lives of the dogs we often overlook-those who run with the pack, live by their own rules, and, in the process, change us forever. Foreword by Bill Aitken
