I am a Sri Vaishnavite. I have a pet German Shepherd. We love animals. His name is Hanumamba. My Daughter and Son-in-Law have a cat called Poppy. We treat them as part of the family. Some Sri Vaishnavites hesitate to eat at our place because we have a Dog quoting some shastra. I am delighted that Sri Krishna had a Dog. Time to educate people. Thanks for the revelation
