My Dumb Friend

What a pain. After supper I was sitting at a bench beside Football ground. It is rainy season. Grounds are wet. I was reading a story by Anton Chekov keeping in my mobile holding it in right hand. Left hand was hanging loosely at the backside of the bench. Suddenly, I felt a damp thing touching my left palm. I turned around and saw that a stout roadside dog, poking its nose there. I knew this dog as earlier I cuddled it once. I patted it in its head, fondled his neck, ears and throat. It came in front of me and as I was sitting crossing one leg to other, it tried to put its head below my leg and have a coziness, I think. It was time to move and I started walking in that drizzle towards my lab and was talking to my mother over phone. Suddenly saw that dog was coming along with me. I had a few packets of biscuits in my hand and I thought it smelt it and in a dry place I gave it two pieces and started walking hoping it would eat biscuit happily and go home. But no, it did not not touch those and started following me again. I reached to the main entrance of our institute , also known as marble hall. All other dogs hesitate to come in, but this one is different. It came in indifferently. I shouted at it and it went a little back and went out of sight. I sighed with relief and went upstairs to my lab. After sometime, saw at my door and it was peeping there with a very happy face. I tried to drive it away at once. But no use, it returned, with even a happier face. I tried to shoo it away again, I don't what it understood, it started to jump as if was wanting to play with me. Running in front of me and looking back with a simple signal, "Come, play with me." Can you understand the situation, a research institute, 10 o'clock at night and above all, cameras all around and I am chasing a dog to banish it. I somehow managed to bring it to the main entrance and started scolding at it, poured water at it and even ran after it to scare it. All work done and it ran away. I returned to my lab and as soon as I returned to lab, I looked back and it was standing sone 20 feet away from me. What a pain. I came in my lab and was ready with water to pour at it. It did not come, Now I peeped out and saw it was standing on its hind legs, putting its front legs in a window pane, looking at outside on something, I don't know what. I closed my lab door so that it should go away. 

After this, I came out of lab after 20-30 minutes and saw it left. 

I understood, this institute even though having very high reputation, what a dog has to do with it. And even, its simplicity prevented it to get scared. But finally I am a research student and seriously, What a Pain!
