A black-and-white dog remains at the site of four homes destroyed by a flood. He refuses to leave the muddy patch where his home once stood. Rescue workers and JCBs clear debris around the steadfast canine. Volunteers offer food and water, which he accepts quietly when alone. Displaced residents understand his loyalty to his former territory.

A dog in Nepal has refused to leave its territory, days after the Aug 26 floods swept away Trishuli Bazaar, among the worst hit, and now a ghost town. Locals who survived, and rescuers, have made their own meaning – it’s waiting for ‘owners’ to return, it doesn’t understand, it is a ‘mere’ dog.
