He would lie sprawled outside Regal Cinema, contending for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/movies-indians-theatre-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moviegoers\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> attention, jonesing for tourists\u2019 affection. An alpha male pariah dog with a penchant for travelling, Kalu was a handsome pooch blessed with a lustrous coat of black olive fur and a strapping physique. If Kalu could speak, he\u2019d point to the funny scar on his face and probably say, \u201cKalu main hoon, mark idhar hai.\u201d<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m not ill,\u201d a little tag on his neck read, \u201cI am being treated by Welfare of Stray Dogs (WSD).\u201d Nothing was the matter with Kalu except for some weird bout of feverish twitching that would instantly worry concerned passersby for his life. The neurological issue would be cured by WSD\u2019s care, but not before Kalu had exploited his condition to cosy up to kind strangers \u2013 to joyously sip bowls of chilled milk sourced from the nearby Barista, or even rock a funky tee that a generous foreign tourist once relieved himself of to drape Kalu with.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cKalu knew how to charm people. He was a terrific actor,\u201d says Abodh Aras, the most affable CEO of WSD and an unmatched authority on stories and eccentricities of strays in Mumbai. Aras has recently collaborated on a picture book for young readers, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My City, My Dogs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, along with photographer Hashim Badani and artist Sumedha Sah. The illustrated volume, published by Pratham Books, profiles nine of Mumbai\u2019s many lovable street dogs, of which Kalu is one. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If dogs were on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/tinder-dating-dating-apps-relationships-worst-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Kalu would have been that annoying dude who posts pretentious selfies captioned #wanderlust and #TakeMeBack. So customary were the itinerant Kalu\u2019s commutes that his routine disappearances wouldn\u2019t bother his human acquaintances. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But one day, about four years ago, Kalu didn\u2019t return to Regal for a week.<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-33543\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1524042803.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption><p>\u00a9 Pratham Books \/ Sumedha Sah<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A staff member from the Alibag ferry service at the Gateway who knew Kalu, phoned Aras: \u201cI saw him at Bhayander station.\u201d Aras couldn\u2019t believe this but still sent a volunteer to check. Nobody could wrap their head around how Kalu had landed at Bhayander, 42 km from his territory, until a volunteer filled them in on Kalu\u2019s impulsive ticketless getaway. \u201cKalu had once followed the volunteer\u2019s dad from their Churchgate residence into the train,\u201d Aras recalls. \u201cTo evade the canine escort, that gentleman thereafter would sneak out of the building.\u201d Since strays can\u2019t be carried in Mumbai locals, the volunteer eventually had to shell out a hefty Bhayander-Churchgate cab fare to get Kalu back to Regal.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it came to whipping up fat cab tabs, Raju was the worst. The news of his sighting inside a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/the-seat-mafia-of-mumbai-locals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local train<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was first broken by an anxious lady on board, worried for his well-being. A WSD volunteer brought Raju back from Borivali \u2014 by cab \u2014 only to be summoned by another caller a few days later. Raju had wandered off again into the suburbs, and the night ended with another long cab ride. \u201cThe reason they need to be brought back is because dogs are territorial and won\u2019t take kindly to new dogs encroaching upon their space,\u201d Aras tells me.<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>\u201cIn a boxed-in Mumbai slum, the parents, children, four dogs and even more cats co-exist \u2013 and coexist well.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the incredible navigational compass of Mumbai\u2019s strays would put many Google Maps-thumbing, directionally challenged humans to shame. Right after being treated at WSD\u2019s kennel in Mahalaxmi, an old dog jumped out of the taxi\u2019s rolled down window and vanished into the night. \u201cThe following day, that dog was spotted right back where she belonged, near Worli\u2019s Campa Cola Compound,\u201d Aras recalls. Another dog at Nariman Point would apparently run 18 km with a runner during his practice, only to meet him the following day again at Nariman Point.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the streets are filled with Kalus and Aishwaryas and Deepikas and Shahrukhs, stray nomenclature throws open a treasure chest of anecdotes. \u201cAbhi Aaya\u201d was named thus because whenever his street-vendor caretaker would look for him, he\u2019d always be there. Tamatar, a grey stray near Mahalaxmi\u2019s Shobha Restaurant, loves chomping on a ripe tomato in one go. A Chembur dog, Shengu, kicks back with the shingdanawala (peanut vendor) and snoozes under his thela. My favourite though, is Periappa, who has a fondness for idlis and dosas served at Matunga\u2019s South Indian joints.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once, looking for a stray named Whisky, Aras landed at the Colaba dive, Gokul. \u201cWhiskey kahaan hai?\u201d The waiter at the door replied with a straight face, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/grub\/whisky-whiskey-international-whiskey-day-alcohol-india-johnnie-walker-jim-beam-jack-daniels-chivas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whiskey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> andar hai, lekin hum baahar nahi laa saktey. Aap ko andar aana padega.\u201d It then dawned on Aras that he was talking about the drink, not the dog.<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-33542\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1524042801.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption><p>\u00a9 Pratham Books \/ Sumedha Sah<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shoeshine-man Arvind, who lived outside Eros Theatre, had half a dozen dogs; their names were all inspired from the movies running in the theatre behind him: Pretty (Woman), James (Bond), S Raj (presumably a character from a South Indian matinee movie), and the youngest dogs, Hrithik and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/ameesha-patel-birthday-kaho-na-pyaar-hai-gadar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ameesha<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/kaho-na-pyar-hai-hrithik-roshan-amisha-patel-anupam-kher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kaho Naa\u2026 Pyaar Hai<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Hindi film that marked the cinema hall\u2019s transition from screening Hollywood films to Bollywood. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside the old American Consulate in Breach Candy, a local cop on duty, in petty retaliation, had named a short stray dog \u201cBush\u201d after the then American President who had famously declared his cat\u2019s name to be India. When Bush passed away at the ripe canine age of 18, the emotional outpouring to a Facebook post dedicated to him showed just how pampered and loved he was by hundreds of area residents, including a grateful teenager who confessed to routinely emptying his lunchbox to Bush so that his mother would think he ate it. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this kind of gratitude and affection is hardly surprising. In his 22 years of working with Mumbai\u2019s strays, Aras finds that nearly 90 per cent of the streeties are tended to by somebody or the other. \u201cIn a boxed-in Mumbai slum, the parents, children, four dogs and even more cats co-exist \u2013 and coexist well,\u201d he says. \u201cThey have very little but still share whatever they can with the strays.\u201d We might not deserve dogs, but the city sure as hell needs them. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My City, My Dogs, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is published by Pratham Books and can be viewed <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/stories\/27450-my-city-my-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of Mumbai\u2019s many stories reside with its stray dogs.
