Indian toon dog!



Did you know that the ubiquitous Indian street dog is represented even in the cartoon world? Thousands of Indians already know Rocket, the faithful companion of the much-loved comic strip character Chacha Chaudhary. Here's one of the book covers.

Mridu Minocha (Sonu's owner) drew my attention to Rocket and she tells me that his look has changed - earlier he had shorter fur and a pointed tail.

I think we can safely describe him as an INDog-mix!

  1. My Poochie was named after Detective Moochwalla's doggie in Target magazine. Wonder if this children's magazine still exists.
