Quest

The begging dog

My class went for a picnic to MGM. Our class teacher arranged a van for the excursion. While in the van, we were all singing and having fun.

The journey was over an hour. At MGM, one thing caught my eye — a dog begging for money from the tourists. The dog carried a vessel in its mouth sat quiet. The tourists dropped money into vessel. When I saw this, I was upset. I cursed those who have trained the dogs to beg. The beggars attract tourists by using animals.

This should be eradicated. The Government and Animal Welfare Board should take action against these beggars and others who live on the animal's labour. Though our excursion was fun, this reduced my happiness.
