Favorite Prey of Rusty
Rusty was very good at sensing rats and mouse. He used to get the smell of rats even before us.
Our old washing machine was favourite refuge for rats. The moment rat enters the machine; Rusty will scratch the machine and make lots of fuss to reach the rat. The rat was also very smart. It will not budge till Rusty is around. I have to remove Rusty from the area and open the machine to rescue the rat.
We used to stay in a very old house, which had lots of small holes to facilitate rats and mouse infestation. Every now and then, they will raid my kitchen. Those days were very busy for Rusty for he used to be very busy patrolling the kitchen and store. Whenever he used catch mice or rat, he used to keep it on my feet and I used to proudly pat him for his job.
Even in other old house he used to chase small mice and baby mice. The moment he put his heavy paws on teeny-meeny mouse, it will die. What followed this chase was my home was affected by cyclone of sorts. I have to tidy whole of my house after this dog and mouse chase.
I really miss his active chase and his cyclonic upheaval of my house!

Happy Birthday Rusty
Happy Birthday Rusty!
Today is Rusty’s birthday!
He descended onto this Earth on 1st December1997, to give us immense pleasure and joy. He gave us unlimited happiness, for which we all are always grateful to GOD!
We used to celebrate his birthday with special non-vegetarian food for him and a cake for him. I used to bake a cake for him. Kops and Krish used to cut cake on his behalf. He used to love his chocolate cake and used to gobble most of it. Dogs in our vicinity shared the food prepared for Rusty. The owner of other dogs used to feel surprised by this gesture. So, he used to have his own party with his friends and us.
His last birthday was memorable in a way. I baked his favorite chocolate cake. His Master came in the evening and we all together celebrated his birthday. Kops and Krish cut the cake in his presence. He was very happy and had his share of cake first. He shared his birthday cake with our neighbors who were surprised. Then he demanded more and he got most of the cake. I felt so satisfied.
Today when he is in heaven, I miss his birthday and each and every birthdays, which was celebrated like never before. He lived his life with Blessings of Higher One! All his wishes were fulfilled and he always lead a happy life.
May God Bless Him Wherever He Is!

Rusty And Raja
Rusty and Raja with Brindel, Hansmukh!
Rusty was gem of a dog. He never got into fight with any dog. One stray dog was adopted by one of the member of our colony. They named the dog Raja. He was King of the colony, for he knew the rules of the jungle. Rusty came with us and was given the freedom. Raja understood the rules that he should avoid Rusty and that he should not meddle with this new dog in his territory. Raja never used to come near our house but kept a vigil on the area touched by Rusty.
They got into fight once and Raja bit Rusty thrice. I used to clean the wound and dress his bite marks. Rusty never got infected seriously. Once rusty was welcoming his master when he came back from office by car. Somehow his foreleg got caught between the front wheels of the car. Rusty started shouting with pain. Raja got a chance and to make matters worse, raja came and started biting Rusty. We kicked and hit Raja but he was nat leaving helplessly trapped Rusty.
Very cunning Raja!
Then somehow Rusty was freed from daring clutches of Raja.Car was moved to free rusty. We heaved a sigh of relief! Rusty was shocked and was in pain. We gave him water and comfort and lots of love. He got over his fear and shock soon. He was courageous dog!
He also encountered Hansmukh, a dog with smiling face. This dog used sneak in from outside the colony to have a round and go off in style. Rusty and Hansmukh respected each other’s presence. They never had any problems with each other.
Brindal was a bitch who mated with Raja. She was always around the area. Rusty was curious but never interfered. When Brindal gave birth to 4 pups, Rusty went and saw them and came back. He never disturbed them.
Understanding his fellow beings was one of the biggest advantageous traits of Rusty.
Kudos! Rusty!

Village Dogs and Rusty
Village Dogs and Rusty
Rusty was very friendly and trained dog. He was never tied unless and until needed. He never took undue advantage of his freedom. He knew his territory and always used to respect his freedom.
Once he went to a nearby village, taking advantage of his freedom. He was unaware of those village dogs that always used to roam in-group. He went to village and was chased by those dogs. Like a gentleman he came back to his home. But he also got infected with lice. After few days his body was full of lice. I was afraid of anti tick treatment so I decided to pick all those lice. But they were too many so I bought one fine-toothed comb. I oiled his body and started combing him. He was very patient dog. He used to lie still till I finish combing. The moment I finish combing, he used to be so happy and relieved. He used to run away barking happily. After 15days of regular combing, I got rid of his village lice.
His Test of Patience is always Remembered!

Caught and Released-A Miracle Story of a Sparrow
Caught and Released-A Miracle Story of a Sparrow
Rusty gave many miracle stories worth mentioning. He was very possessive about his home. He can’t tolerate any intrusion by animals and birds alike. Once he scared delicate little robin while chasing the little bird out of the house. He was successful in his this venture.
One fine day, a sparrow lost its way into our main room. She was searching for a way out for a long time but was misconceived by clear glass window. The sparrow was tired after sometime but still it was trying. To make matters worst, Rusty appeared out of nowhere and started chasing the poor bird. The bird tried hard to save its life and Rusty tried hard to get at this little sparrow. I saw and tried to shoo the sparrow out of the house. But sparrow was scared of me also so it was confused as to which way is out to freedom.
Alas! He caught the sparrow in his mouth.
The sparrow was almost dead but still breathing. I ordered Rusty to give me the sparrow. He resisted and then he gave me the sparrow. I took the wet sparrow and saw that it was numb with fear. I gave it Reiki Healing. After a few minutes, sparrow opened its eyes and lifted its tiny head. I continued giving Reiki. The sparrow was lively and filled with new energy. The Divine energy gave it a new lease of life and it was ready to take another flight into freedom. I opened the door and let the tiny little life to take a leap towards a free and bright sunlight. I saw it flying high into the sky.
I thanked my guides for this miracle and I thanked Rusty for letting me to be a part of this Divine Miracle!

An encounter with wild kittens (civets)
An encounter with wild kittens (civets)
Rusty’s explorations lead to many unusual feats, which always fascinated us. We had an outhouse with a small verandah. We used to store unwanted articles in that area. There were few cardboard boxes filled with newspapers and waste products. We never used to venture in that area unless required. But the whole area was under supervision of Rusty. One day he was on his regular inspection, he spotted some kittens in that area. Now, his barking and attacking was really worth mentioning.
There were 3 wild kittens of a Civet (wild cat) who found our verandah a safer bet than nearby forest. But she lost her bet to our dear Rusty. He picked each of the kittens one by one, brought them in the front lawn. He started holding them from neck and took a deadly round with kittens in his mouth. They were scared stiff and shocked.
I came out to see what the commotion was about. I was surprised to see our gentle Rusty scaring the little ones. I shouted at him and caught hold of Rusty. I rescued the kittens and kept them in a basket. Then they were released in the nearby forest close to our house so that mother of kittens can find them.
Nosy Rusty can’t stand unusual guest in his territory!

Another tryst with big cobra, small cobra and a krate
Another tryst with big cobra, small cobra and a krate
This big fellow was very courageous! He just can’t tolerate his enemies entering his territory.
Rusty was strolling along the roadside in search of something interesting. He got a find of his lifetime!
A Big Cobra!
Oh My God! He started barking and Cobra started charging. His continuous barking brought me out of my home. He was just not listening to anyone. The moment he saw me, Rusty was more brave and started getting closer. I was afraid that Cobra might bite him, so I kept away and watched from distance. All the other people of the colony came out to see his courageous feat. One person had a brainwave. He threw some water on him. This calmed him and I was able to catch him. I heaved a sigh of relief and Cobra thankfully left the place, scared and shaken. We all were so happy that Rusty came out of trouble unscathed.
Another day, Rusty’s strong nose caught a familiar scent. He started his intent search. Behind the bushes! Along the boundary line! Near the pond! Amongst the earthen pots! And there his search ended! He found his catch! It was a medium sized Cobra!
He was so intelligent that he somehow trapped this cobra amongst the pots in such a way that Cobra’s tail was caught between a pot. This made the movement of Cobra impossible. He could just hiss and charge with his hood.
Very Intelligent Boy!
Then he scared the snake with his continuous bark.
We caught Rusty and locked him inside the house and called for help. Cobra was caught and released in the forest.
One sunny day, Rusty again encountered a small cobra in my kitchen garden. This cobra recently removed his skin. This made the cobra very sluggish and vulnerable. The new skin was shining and Cobra wanted to move to safe place.
Hmm! Rusty got to know about his plans and attacked Cobra. He really knew how to get Cobra. He caught cobra with his neck with his mouth deftly and quickly threw the snake on the ground injuring it. The snake was hit in this way many times. This made the snake almost dead. Controlling and catching Rusty was very difficult because he learnt to dodge me. He understood that I would catch him and lock him. Then he won’t get at his enemy. But I caught him somehow. I called guard and ask him to release the Cobra to safe place.
By Jove! Rusty was Brave Boy!
At night, Rusty used to go out on his own for a little stroll and to answer nature’s call. All of a sudden barking Rusty caught our attention. We went out to explore the reason for his excited barks.
Voila! Another snake!
This time it was Krate!
This Krate was one of the most poisonous species of snake. Rusty got hold of this dangerous snake. He was barking and made this snake to hide between the crevices of the damaged wall. But snake was visible and Rusty was trying very hard to get at the snake through his strong paws. Snake was lucky that Rusty could not reach him.
We caught Rusty and brought him inside the house forcefully. Then snake moved out safely for his night stroll.
God saved the Snake!
