2 min readJul 2, 2023

The monsoon is the perfect weather for late-night drives and long walks. Imagine walking or driving down a dimly lit street at night when suddenly a furry silhouette darts across your path. It’s a street dog, barely visible in the darkness. Sadly, these poor creatures often become victims of road accidents due to their limited visibility. But what if we could change that? Introducing the ‘Reflective Dog Collar’ project in partnership with Bhumi NGO, a heartwarming initiative that aims to improve the safety of street dogs by creating reflective neck collars.

Street dogs are an integral part of Delhi’s urban landscape, offering companionship and warmth to many. However, their vulnerability to road accidents is a growing concern. By participating in the ‘Dog Collar’ project, we can provide these dogs with a simple yet effective solution to enhance their visibility and protect them from potential harm.

Creating these life-saving collars is a creative and enjoyable process. We’ll create eye-catching accessories that shine brightly in the darkness with sewing needles, thick thread, and scissors. Together, we can turn a simple craft into a powerful tool for safeguarding the lives of these lovable canines.

Preventing road accidents and saving dogs’ lives requires a collective effort. The ‘Reflective Dog Collar’ project encourages individuals, families, and groups to come forward and contribute their time and skills. By working together, we can ensure that these reflective collars reach as many street dogs as possible, helping them roam the streets safely.

The ‘Dog Collar’ project in collaboration with Bhumi NGO presents an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of street dogs in Delhi. Creating reflective neck collars and spreading awareness about road safety can help prevent accidents and ensure these four-legged companions can explore the streets without fear. Join us in this rewarding venture, bring your sewing needles, thick thread, and scissors if available, and let’s make a difference together. Together, we can illuminate their path to a brighter and safer future.

As the saying goes, “Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change”.
