Blue water bottles hung at homes in Chennai to drive dogs away!
CHENNAI, Nov 12: A belief that hanging bottles containing blue coloured water at homes keeps stray dogs away is catching on in Chennai city. This phenomenon was also observed in some settlements in the national Capital some years ago but disappeared soon after. Because the "quick fix" failed to stop the pooch from desecrating their entrance. The initial success claimed was attributed to the dogs' neophobia. Veterinary experts confirm the idea has no scientific value. Dogs like many other animals have dichromatic vision. They do see blue, alongwith yellow, but it doesn't frighten them.
