In Jakhau, Kutch, 39-year-old Hussain Umar Siya has taken it upon himself to feed 1,300 street dogs. This effort began nine years ago when he noticed that dog bites increased when fishing season ended, leaving the dogs without food.
During the fishing months, leftover food from fishermen provided nourishment for the stray dogs. However, starting June 1st, when fishermen stop venturing into the sea due to monsoon warnings, the dogs face starvation and become aggressive.
Hussain, recognizing this issue, began feeding the dogs during the off-season, spending Rs 1,500 every alternate day. Despite his efforts, the dogs continued to suffer from malnutrition and illnesses.
Harmesh Bhatt from the Asha Foundation recently joined the cause, sending a team to assess the dogs' health. They discovered that many dogs were weak and needed medical attention. The foundation is now working alongside Hussain to treat and feed the dogs.
Suchita Kapoor, a local NGO volunteer, has also contributed by providing food and medicine. With this collaborative effort, the dogs are now receiving regular meals and care during the three-month fishing break.
Thanks to Hussain's dedication and the support of volunteers and organizations, the street dogs of Jakhau have a fighting chance during the off-season. This community-driven initiative has provided much-needed relief to the dogs until the fishermen return.
