Dogs are fed up of humans and now want to get rid of them

Lost Doghood Muhammad Nasrullah Khan 

At last the big and barren graveyard was decided to be the best and
safest place for the decisive session of noble dogs. It was a unique 
event in dog-history. For the first time, they were united and 
convinced that everything in the human world was rotten, false and 
disgusting. They all wanted to leave this brutish human society, but 
did not know where to go. They had looked to their noblest thinkers for 
leadership, but these had merely debated the absurdity of life until 
every Tom, Heck and Herry understood that the so-called great 
philosophers of dogdom merely wore masks of wisdom and offered no 
practical solutions.............. 

their brains had been wasted in other great philosophical issues like
the absurdity of life and the meaninglessness of existence. They had 
disappointed the highest hopes of common dogs. But the positive point 
was that it was revealed to Tom, Heck and Herry that most of the 
philosopher dogs had just put on the mask of wisdom, otherwise they 
were not different from them, having the same stupid complexes and 
fears. 

That night special arrangements were made to have full-fledged meeting.
Many of them were still frightened because a night before they came 
across police and many dogs were killed by their brutish firing, when 
they had just started their meeting in the open barren plain out of the 
city. Although they had selected a safe place but unfortunately that 
night police brought some 'criminals' to kill in police encounter. Next 
day when the dead bodies of those criminals appeared on newspapers, 
nobody thought about the dead dogs lying in the background. Not even a 
single human brain thought about the 'extra Judicial' murder of 
innocent dogs. It happened many times that when police did not find any 
man at night, they killed such innocent dogs. These harmless creatures 
were never able to understand the cause of this cruel act. They could 
not understand the fact that police were jealous of their indifferent 
and fearless attitude. Once when dogs used to perform this duty there 
was peace and security in human society. But when man became civilized 
and dogs were replaced by police all criminal activities started in the 
darkness of night. There were huge files of wise suggestions to reform 
the police , but nobody thought that that duty could be performed more 
efficiently by dogs. Dogs' sorrow was augmented by the remarks of the 
public when they would call the names of dogs to abuse the police-- e.g 
dirty dogs, son of bitch or bastard dogs. 

The Graveyard was a safe place for them , because human beings are
always afraid of their dead relations, which reminds them of 
God------they accept the existence of God but they never consider it 
pleasing to meet God. Dogs knew that weakness of man; therefore, they 
were quite at home there. Although the meeting had to be started at 
midnight, the graveyard was filled with dogs . Shaggy, the secretary of 
the dog's association, was having a round of the place with his anxious 
eyes and wrinkled forehead. He was thin and weak, always ready to frown 
at the small disturbance. He was an intelligent dog with weak nerves. 
Whenever he was worried he would crush the hard earth with his soft 
feet. He never quarreled with other dogs, all his anger was shifted to 
his own heart; all his life was spent being beaten by the rascal dogs, 
but he never scolded them. He would lie on the earth silently to be 
beaten. It was due to this quality that he was selected for this 
honorable post. Even he was nominated for the Hoble Prize, the most 
noble title of dogs. 

He had to work hard because many dogs blamed him for the tragic
happening of the previous session. Honorable Scooby, the president of 
this association, had also shown his displeasure. At midnight almost 
all dogs had arrived at the meeting place. Now honourable Scooby was 
awaited. Scooby was seventeen years old , the most senior of them all. 
His life was spent in that graveyard. Due to his ascetic nature, he 
never indulged himself in worldly affairs--not even for any bitch. He 
knew it very well that bitches led the noble dogs to the lust of world. 
He knew many great brains who could change the world, but that bloody 
love with bitches made them the most foolish and pathetic creature of 
the universe. He believed that the major cause of madness and violence 
among dogs was due to bitches. Those who could have been the heroes of 
the nation were now mean sensualists. They had even forgotten the 
nobility of doghood. Scooby's happiness was hidden in this simple rule; 
he never ran after bitches--even he did not allow bitches to attend the
