"Blind Dog" by R.K. Narayan
Explanation:
"Blind Dog" is one of the most popular stories of R.K. Narayan from his collection 'Malgudi Days' that discusses the story of a dog and his loyalty towards his blind master who is a beggar.
The story begins with the everyday struggles of the blind man and Tiger(the dog). Tiger helps him in saving his food from others which the blind man appreciates. The blind man begins to tyrannize the dog and treat him merely as a working dog who is there only to serve him. The man gradually becomes more greedy and makes Tiger work more and more to earn extra money. He begins to lend money to people on interest. With increasing greed, the blind man becomes cruel and he not only fails to acknowledge the hard work and efforts of the poor animal but also beats him often. Then, the tiger finally is set free by the Perfumer as he felt what the blind man was doing to him was devilish. The blind man repents his actions for mistreating him. The readers are given a shock when the tiger returns at the end despite all this mistreatment and humiliation which might be his affection towards him or the loyalty.
The theme of the story is 'human greed and ungratefulness' in contrast to the 'loyalty and free-will of animals.'
