Hello!<br />

Hello from a very wet Bangalore.<br />

Our summer has concluded and<br />

it’s the monsoons.<br />

I am very excited to be brining<br />

you this issue of the newsletter.<br />

I believe that <strong>PDTE</strong> members<br />

are playing an important role in<br />

increasing our understanding<br />

of dogs. So it’s important for all<br />

of you to be heard.<br />

Darkness can only be<br />

vanquished with light and<br />

ignorance vanquished with<br />

knowledge. That’s why it’s so<br />

important to express and share.<br />

I sincerely hope that all of you<br />

will use this platform to voice<br />

your ideas. They matter and<br />

need to be heard.<br />
