The session was led by the resource person Ritika Bisht . She began by sparking interaction, asking the children to name their favourite animals and mimic their sounds, filling the hall with laughter and enthusiasm.Gradually, she steered the session towards the central theme of understanding “Dogese Language”. The ways in which dogs communicate with humans through their expressions, gestures, and behaviours.

 Key  Learnings  of  the  Session

1. Understanding Dog  Body  Language

The resource person explained in detail how dogs express emotions and states of mind.

She emphasized that just like humans, dogs too experience emotions such as anger, surprise, confusion, happiness, playfulness, and trust. . Defensive gestures like bared teeth or raised fur should be recognized as warnings.

2. Safety Tips  –  If  Confronted  by  a  Stray  Dog

– Do not run, as dogs are competitive and may chase.

– Stand calmly and avoid direct eye contact.

– Extend a closed fist to allow the dog to sniff and build trust.

– Approach dogs with caution, patience and empathy.

3. Empathy Building  Activity

To make learning more impactful, she guided the students through an imagination-based activity. With eyes closed, they were asked to picture a story from a dog’s perspective, helping them better understand the feelings, instincts, and daily challenges of animals.

4. Animal Welfare  and  Health  Awareness

Fundamental Rights & Laws:  All animals are protected by the Indian Constitution. It is illegal to hit or harm any animal for any reason. It is also illegal to keep wild animals like Parrot, Turtle, Monkey, Snake as pets as they are protected species. Students were also  educated about Rabies, its dangers and prevention.

A delightful highlight of the session was the introduction of Bunno, a friendly dog. Bunno demonstrated how to build trust with a dog – the children learned to stay calm, bend slightly and allow the dog to sniff their hands before gently interacting with him. The activity became even more special when our respected Principal Ma’am also participated with the children .

Respected Principal Ma’am addressed the gathering and urged the students to be kind and sensitive towards animals and to share the information learned today with their parents .
