Nawab has competition:


Meet the world`s cleverest dog

ANI[ SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2004 08:40:08 PM ]


LONDON: Training your pets to shake hands and fetch the ball is passe as it is time to meet the world`s smartest dog who can not only do all the regular stuff but also buy lottery tickets, post the mail and do your shopping.

According to the Sun , the dog, Endal, who is owned by a wheelchair-bound owner, Gulf War veteran Allen Parton, stays by his master`s side throughout the day.

When Allen wakes up in the morning, Endal springs into action. The Labrador tugs back the covers with his teeth and pushes Allen`s legs round so he can get into his wheelchair.

The dog then helps Allen withdraw money from a cashpoint, buys his newspaper and even turns on the lights in the house after it gets dark, after which he helps Allen put the clothes for a wash and fetches him a knife, fork and plate to eat.

Allen says that he discovered the dog by accident, ``This 11-week-old puppy came over and placed something in my lap and I didn`t take a blind bit of notice. The dog was clearly annoyed that he hadn`t got a reaction or any praise so he tried again. He eventually piled so many things onto my lap that I broke a smile and our magical partnership was born,`` says Allen, whose wife works in a pet shop.

Pretty funny, but I am a bit jealous, why didn`t Mr Howard call me? Could it be that he`s getting all his tips from Nawab? Tell Nawab to do something about tax rates and the detention centres.Keep us posted.

Well written & really fun to read. Hope to read more on this, if you do decide to continue putting down Nawab`s opinionated discourses.

Dost Mitter - the Indians are themselves outsourcing to Vietnam now maybe I should my future submissions done from there.

Harish_Hyd - nakko ray. Tereku kaiku aisa feel hota ray? It was just a name that Ahmed had kept for his dog without any intention of belittling Hyderabadis. Aisa nakko sochnay ka.

Super! But I have a feeling you were belittling us Hyderabadis by naming your dog `Nawab`. However, I won`t mind if you had Lucknowis on your mind :-)

Hey! This is really good!
Can you work up on a series of sort or something?
And when you do, please take up Khammy`s word to make this `doggiliciously dogged narrative` simply irresistible.
And do offer Nawab an extra bone too!

Thank you all for reading. Layman that is my real name indeed and I am neither a Bengali nor a Maharashtrian.

Just curious - is Subroto Pant a real name or your pseudonym? Subroto being Bengali and Pant Maharashtrian.
