Meet Dingo – the protest dog from Taleigao

It all started when architect Tallulah D’Silva got her two sons a dog in 2019. “We named him Dingo and we would take him with us everywhere we went. I used to do the same with my kids,” she said. As of now Dingo has visited around 20 protests – from Chandor to Arrossim to Nauxim to the silent protests at Panaji Church square to save the Taleigao fields.Not just protests, Tallulah takes him for hikes to Mollem with her students.
“I started going for the protests and I would take Dingo along with me. Now, he is known as Dingo, the protest dog, says Tallulah, who had adopted Dingo in 2019.
“Dingo is like an ambassador of peace at the protests. He is completely involved with what happens around and is extremely friendly. This also in a way teaches people to be affectionate and kind towards animals,” says Tallulah.
