BITCHES BREW

Titbits From Today's Vijay Times (www.vijaytimes.com):



"CHILD TURNS TO DOG FOR MILK

HISAR: At a tender age of six months, when most toddlers are breastfed by their mothers, Mohit, instead of turning to his mother when he was hungry, started looking for a stray bitch who had delivered pups somewhere near his home and suckled her milk."

"Mohit, who is now one and a half years old, has been thriving on stray bitches' milk for the past one year. As soon as Mohit calls any of the seven bitches, who roam in the Multani Chowk area, for suckling, they surrender and he suckles milk from them. Though Mohit's parents have been trying to dissuade him, the child refuses to give up the habit. His mother Mausmi says she has tried to wean him away from the habit but has not met with any success so far." [he's probably a first born son -CJ]

"When their neighbours told them about Mohit's peculiar habit, the family did not believe them. However, when they saw a dog suckling the boy, they were convinced."
