In A Day in the Life, the final track of their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles has a frequency of 15-kilohertz. It's not a fact you'd pick up on, but a dog surely would, because they would certainly hear it. Although information like this one may be thought of as futile to your existence, it is one tiny step to understanding animals. And considering how our behaviour can adversely affect them — the bush fires in Australia could have wiped out an entire species — we need to put in effort into taking better care of the four-legged ones. That's what a carnival-cum-fundraiser in aid of Parel's Bombay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA) and Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital hopes to convey this weekend.
