These INDogs and INDog-mixes all started life as street pups in Delhi. Thanks to Barbara's NGO Adopt An Indian Desi Dog (AAIDD), they have all been successfully homed in Canada.
In my humble opinion, the owners are as lucky as the dogs. I think all Indy owners would agree.
These desi dog parties took place when Dr Choudhary visited Canada. At one of them more than 20 desi dogs and their owners got together to meet and thank Dr Choudhary for helping save their dogs.

Isn't it just fabulous to see all those happy Indies - not to mention all the doting owners?
"The desis loved meeting each other as they speak the same desi dog play language," says Barbara. "I'm hoping that India will soon become very proud of this heritage dog of theirs."
Barbara and Dr Choudhary, thanks for all you do for our lovely unique Indies!
I feel my dream of desis being sought-after and admired is beginning to come true...
