Sunny Luthra

Dog behaviourist. He writes this guide.

Every breed, disease, health and behaviour record on this site is published under one name, so there is one person to hold responsible for what you read. This page is that person’s own record, kept in the same ruled form as the animals’.

Nothing below is a figure you have to take on faith. Each line is either something he wrote here, which you can go and read, or something you can check somewhere that is not this website.

Notes on the subject

Three things the rows above are too short to hold: where he came from, why this site is about prevention rather than obedience, and who writes the words.

He came to this from software

Sunny builds products for a living. He founded mRova, a product engineering firm shipping full-stack platforms across AI, health and consumer web, and the same instinct runs through both trades: take the system apart, learn how it actually works, and only then decide what to change.

It is why this is a library and a set of working tools rather than a brochure, and why the photograph above is of a desk rather than of a man with a dog.

Why the site is about prevention

In 2015 a dog called Webby arrived, and every training school on offer taught obedience rather than understanding. So the work started as observation instead: sessions with other dog parents from 2016, then a move to a quiet hill near Pune in 2019 to watch free-roaming dogs raise each other without commands, treats or leashes.

In 2020 Webby died of tick fever. That is why this site is built around prevention, food and gut health rather than around training, the illness that took him was the kind a parent can often see coming, if someone tells them what to look for.

Who writes the words

The behaviour records are his own first-hand casework, written by him. The rest, breeds, diseases, health , is drafted with AI from published research and then verified by him line by line before it goes up.

Those are two different facts, so the site states them differently: every record carries the one that is true of it, at the foot of the page. Saying “written by” over text a person did not write is the thing that split exists to stop.

In his own words

The whole route from a first dog to this practice, told once, at length, on the channel. 19:01, unedited by this page.

Where this can be checked

Four addresses this site does not control. They are the same four the machine-readable record below publishes, so a search engine and a reader are being told the same thing.

The same record, as a machine reads it

Every page here publishes a structured copy of itself for search engines and answer engines. Almost no site shows you that copy.

This is this page’s, in full and unedited, the same object served in the markup above. What you have just read and what Google is told are the same record, and you can hold them against each other.

On the empty field

There is no hasCredential in it. That is deliberate, and it stays empty until the qualifications that would go there can be attested by somebody other than us.
