Wow! what a justification and what a twist for an action taken in frustration. It is ultimately the dog, the poor dog, that felt the pain of the kick. That pain also gave it the exalted position of a Guru, whatever the word means(the dog does not know anything about being a Guru ). Dogs usually defend their territory fiercely after marking the borders of the territory by pissing there. Other dogs keep away from such "marked" territory. If any other dog violates the unwritten(or is it the un-barked?) rule and invades the territory then you have a serious street-fight in which the weaker of the two contestants is mauled. Human beings never respect any of nature's laws and so the dog, the poor dog, territory marked or not, eats crow. But this is the first time that the dog has been put on a pedestal with a lot of respect, of course after giving it a painful kick. Dear friend Raghy, you can be happy about one thing. You have for company another "great" soul (does not periyar in Tamil mean the Great?). Periyar has already claimed that he fought with dogs in Varanasi for a morsel of food and that was a defining moment for him.
Just kidding. Please read this with a peg of JD(on my account) in hand.
Cheers.
