Dog Day

No one can win hearts like man’s best friend and in honor of this bond between man and canine, Dog Day is celebrated.

Take time to appreciate the love and value that dogs bring to our daily lives, and to do your bit for homeless and abused dogs the world over. From keeping us safe working for the emergency services to supporting people who are blind, deaf, or disabled, dogs do a lot for us humans, and this is an opportunity to give something back.

Dog Day has been created so that all breeds of dogs are celebrated; mixed and pure. The day helps to galvanize the public so that they can recognise the number of dogs that must be rescued on a yearly basis, from pure breed rescuers, rescues, and public shelters.

The day is all about paying tribute to these incredible animals who work selflessly to bring comfort, keep us safe, and save lives. Every day, these animals put their lives on the line. There are dogs that protect our safety and freedom by detecting drugs and bombs, as well as those that pull victims from wreckages and tragic situations. Plus, we have dogs for the disabled, blind, and law enforcement. From these heroic dogs to our family friends, these dogs hold special places in our lives, and so it is only right that we honor them.

The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives you a trust which is total. You must not betray it.

You may be wondering who started this incredible day, and we have Colleen Paige to thank for it. Collen is an Animal Advocate and a Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert. The day marks the date she adopted her first family dog, Sheltie. The day has been adopted around the world, and it is even written into legislation in New York, showing just how important it is.

Recommendations for ways to celebrate Dog Day range from adopting a dog from a rescue home to giving your dog a holistic spa treatment or even buying yourself and your dog matching t-shirts.

The National Dog Day Foundation supports all breeds and varieties of dogs and discourages purchasing from unethical backyard breeders and puppy mills; instead, support reputable breeders or adopt from rescue homes.

Whole India’s Interview
The Session was moderated by Cretanja

Here we are in our studios with an Interview of none other than the most unpredictable, dynamic and one of the most Controversial people NationStates have seen lately, that is Whole India! Let me introduce you to him in case you don't know him. Whole India is a former ambassador representing The South Pacific to the International Democratic Union, a former Defense Minister, Junior Home Minister & Home Minister of India, a former Legislator of The South Pacific, a former member of The North Pacific's Regional Assembly, a former Prime Minister, Home Minister, Foreign Minister, Deputy Foreign Minister & Chief Executive for Foreign Affairs of Lasagna. He was also a three-time Parliamentarian in India.

Questioner: Firstly, I would like to thank you for your time today! I appreciate that greatly! Can you disclose what led up to the closure of The Greater Hindu Empire?

Answer: Well, it's a long story. It begins with my tenure as India's Minister of Defence. Our regions have quite some history. The thing that led to their closure was a joint tag raid by GHE & Genua as well as a typical occupation of India's Parliament Region. We launched quite some operations against both namely Operation Trishul, Operation Chanakya, and Operation Evil Eye & all these operations came under one umbrella of Operation Rudra which is so far known in the public domain. There were some army operations too.

Questioner: Very interesting! Can you speak more about the occupation of India's Parliament Region and the outcome of that result?

Answer: There's quite some story to tell of that side. At that time India was going through the 'December Crisis'. It was a failure in our moderation policy then, and some regions who had vested interests, instead of helping us reform it, were busy contacting our other allies to close embassies with India. Anyways coming back to the topic, our Parliament region was previously owned or perhaps to be precise was controlled by a nation called 'Arabestan'. He got involved in a debate on the main region’s RMB and he used the account of the Parliament's Founder. So it got suppressed. Don't misuse bureaucracy, right? But Arabestan got angry. He decided to close the parliament region as a symbol of their 'protest'. He passworded that region and left. So, the parliament region ceased to exist and before we could carry out refoundation, Genua's founder occupied the region. We lost the parliament house! Treachery for ideology, isn't it?

Questioner: That is quite the ordeal, indeed! Has the Indian Parliament Region been restored? And, what can you say about the logistics of how the GHE Founder account was 'acquired' by the Intelligence Wing of India?

Answer: Now that's the part of the story I like! When the Nazi Purge happened in NS, Genua's founder also got deleted. He was puppet swept. And it was our chance to strike. So, on the night of the same day, we launched Operation Restore. It was an operation of the Indian Armed Forces [IAF]. Under it, we captured the Church of Magdalene which was Genua's Official Church. In the next update in the morning, we liberated Jaipur which was an innocent region captured by Greater Hindu Empire [GHE]. Then I spoke with the original owner and with his permission, we merged the region into India. After this, we retook Indian National Parliament [INP]. Later, GHE & Genua did make an attempt to take back Jaipur, but it was unsuccessful thanks to our agents who were working in both regions at that time. On the Second question of how we acquired the GHE's Founder account, let me tell you there was too much sacrifice from my side. I did WA Multying and 104 WAs were brought into GHE and the mods couldn't trace this for almost a month. It was our plan B to take down GHE, but when Mods found it out, they deleted all my nations. So, then we came back to Plan A, where their founder himself gave the password to one of our people and then took the region. It was my brainchild, which was planned two years ago and I was in contact over that operation with the Indian Administration.

Questioner: I see! So you no longer have an in-game presence on-site anymore? How would you put into terms what Genua's "rule of the rightful" or "Ultra Hindu Nationalists Ideology" was all about, exactly?

Answer: I still have somewhere, some presence, but I would be withdrawing it soon. I had taken an oath when I was in office that GHE started when in office & it shall end before I leave the world of NS and since that's achieved I can leave hopefully. Similes On Genua's ideology, I would say they didn't had any ideology to be specific. It was GHE who had one. Genua was trying to portray it had an Ultra Hindu Nationalist Ideology and stuff, but they had none. They just had greed to take down regions and India was their big project. In February 2021 when I was in office, I got a message from the Intelligence Department on a GHE-Genua Collaboration. But at that time India's Intelligence network was quite feeble. My predecessor had started this intelligence thing, but it was quite fragile. I just kick-started this whole thing and what my predecessor had was pure theory, I moulded it and made it practically possible that's one reason why in India few call me the founder of Indian Intelligence. Coming back to the question, I had sufficient information to believe both were working together, but their ideologies weren't the same. GHE was founded with Ultra Hindu Nationalism while Genua was trying to unite all the far-right against the rest.

Questioner: Quite the scene! Can you elaborate more on the GHE's founder Sattwikstan, who allegedly committed Voter Fraud? Are there any lesser known or hushed scandals/events that may have contributed further to the necessity of Operation Rudra?

Answer: Sure! GHE's founder Sattwikstan was already convicted for quite a lot. After Genua's fall, we in India felt that he might have changed something like what happened with me. I changed, I helped India grow by making its Constitution, reforming the legislature, making India's forums & then the tenure as MoD and now this GHE closure. So, we felt he might have improved so we allowed him into India. He ran elections and as expected lost, but then he made some condemnable comments again and then we again banned him. In the meantime, there were talks between our regions over peace after Genua's fall and a treaty was even signed but not ratified as later we found some GHE activities in India. On the voter fraud, there were some elections for Prime Ministership held in GHE. The ballots were rigged and a pro-Sattwik candidate was elected. That time I was in the North Pacific, India had banned me & I had voluntarily accepted it. At that time I got a telegram from India’s WAD & India's Defence Office asking me to assist them in an operation to finally put an end to GHE. So, I made a blueprint, we spoke at a length and I myself joined the operation. This was Operation Evil Eye, the last operation against GHE. There are many lesser-known facts, Southfield if you know was taken down by GHE, by then we were in GHE & this happened without any of our knowledge. And since it damaged one of India's allies, I was asked to do this operation quicker. On a side note, 5 of the 9 Prime Ministers of GHE were our men. So, our infiltration was at a different level altogether, but it was not the Prime Minister who was doing anything, it was the Crown that's Sattwik who was doing everything. The Prime Minister had a sort of rubber stamp authority, if the PM disapproves then he's forced to quit. There was even a small operation that after me, Hyperpolis my successor carried out on an ally of GHE.

Questioner: Thank you for all that information! This is truly a fascinating story and one that I am very excited to share with our audiences! Before our interview concludes, might I ask that you speak on anything else relevant to this event that I might have not prompted a response for?

Answer: Yeah, there's quite a lot to tell, but I'll make it a summary. Indian Mars, India's Puppet Storage was raided by Genua & GHE and that's when actually the seeds of GHE's end were sowed. GHE even once tried to create barriers between India and our then ally South India by informing them that India had launched an operation codenamed 'Operation Tornado' under which not Lone Wolves United but India used its access to the founder's account to cause disruption. I am quite thankful to the Indian Administration for giving me another chance in November 2020 and allowing me to actually exhibit my talent with the help of their resources. India did something which none of the GCRs and some so-called powerful regions like 'The Order of the Grey Warden' could do. When we launched operation Chanakya I had approached many regions, but only Antifa was ready to collaborate. The GCRs and these so-called defenders were more inclined to evince their hypocrisy. I'm grateful to the Daily Line for this interview. I'm extremely grateful as I got a platform to express myself. Thank You!

Questioner: Wonderful interview! Thank you so much for your time today! It was an honour hearing about this event from your perspective and how intricate the fine details were! I hope your efforts are always remembered!
