India is home to over 52 million stray dogs—the largest street dog population in the world.

On August 11, 2025, the Supreme Court issued a shocking order: round up every stray dog in Delhi and move them to shelters within eight weeks. Overnight, the city’s one million street dogs became the center of an impossible plan—one activists called inhumane, and social media called outrageous.

But just days later, the Court reversed course. Instead of sweeping dogs off the streets, the new plan calls for mass sterilization, vaccination, and release—a dramatic U-turn that shines a spotlight on a decades-long crisis.

This documentary takes you inside India’s stray dog epidemic: a rabies emergency claiming over a third of the world’s deaths, a system overwhelmed by garbage mismanagement, and a tragic toll on children, the most frequent victims.

It shows why mass culling has failed, how the Supreme Court’s strategy shift could change everything, and what cities like Jaipur and Sikkim teach us about winning this fight. This isn’t just a story about dogs—it’s a story about public health, urban planning, and compassion.
