Features: Dogs are loyal to humans and are good companions, but do you know that dogs were almost wiped out by humans long ago? It was a very, very long time ago. When King Vander ruled the kingdom of Varanasi, a Dog King was born. It was very majestic, sitting and standing with grace, always alert and spirited. The Dog King lived in a huge tomb outside Varanasi, with absolute authority. All dogs in the world were under its command. One day, the king and queen traveled in a luxurious carriage decorated with gold and silver to the outskirts of Varanasi for a picnic. That day, the king and queen stayed out until the sun set before returning to the palace. After returning to the palace, the carriage driver felt very tired. He did not take off the yoke and harness straps and put them back in the tool shed. Instead, he drove the carriage into the courtyard and went to sleep. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily that night, and the yoke and straps were soaked by the rain, becoming soft and emitting a strong smell of leather. This smell was detected by the dogs raised in the palace, and they ran over, playing and frolicking until they devoured the yoke and straps completely.
Growth and Motivation The relationship between humans and dogs is generally harmonious. Dogs can guard the home and accompany people on hunting trips. These animals have become good friends of humans. We should maintain a harmonious relationship with animals so that the world can be more beautiful. P44-45
