Dr. Dolittle smiled, winking at the camera. "Appudu Telugu lo cheppu ra… 'Vermicompost is the solution.'" (Then tell him in Telugu…)
Ramu, a scruffy brown indie dog, rolled his eyes. "Arere, inka artham kaaleda? Nuvvu animal doctor vi kadu, nuvvu animal translator vi ra ayya!" (Oh dear, you still don't get it? You're not just an animal doctor, you're an animal translator, sir!)

His waiting room was full of humans with sneezes and sniffles, and his heart was full of grief from his late wife’s memory. Aa ring lo nidra vastundi
Soon, his house became a circus. A depressed circus tiger named Bheema refused to jump through the fire ring. A rat family held a panchayat under his sofa, demanding better cheese. And a pregnant elephant named Gajalakshmi blocked his driveway, crying about back pain in a heavy Telangana dialect.
