As for dogs, here in America there are dog parks where you take you dog and let it loose with other people’s dogs and they all play together. Unheard and unimaginable in India. Our dogs would be at each other’s throats. I was on a 3-hour flight to Florida and a family boarded with their Golden Retriever. I wondered where the dog would sit and what would happen on the long flight

But to my astonishment there was no dog on board. That family was very much there. Husband and wife with two children and an infant but no dog. But as I was getting off the plane, I lo’ed and beheld that the dog had been lying on the floor under the seats, totally silent and still throughout the flight. I think this high degree of socializing has to do with how dogs are raised and trained.

Maybe also the result of the high cost of having an aggressive or misbehaved dog especially if it attacks anyone.
