As we all know, dogs rest and sleep in all kinds of attitudes – paws crossed, head on paws, curled up, and every variation thereof. But someone in the dog kingdom seems to have passed a special message on to Delhi dogs – of whom there are many – and so far as we could see they all sleep with backs gently arched and legs gathered up, flat and almost two-dimensional.
This is unlike Agra dogs, who sleep in a variety of positions.
Update
While looking through the photographs we took in India, I came across one that I had taken in Darjeeling. There are an inordinate number of dogs there, and here you can see some of them in their favorite repose – sleeping flat out on the ground.
