"The Stray Dog" (Persian: سگ ولگرد, Sag-e Velgard) is a short story by Iranian writer Sadegh Hedayat, first published in 1942 along with seven other short stories in the book of the same name.
Pat is a Scottish breed dog with two intelligent human eyes.
Pat's sufferings continued until a strange man came and gave him bread and yogurt.
The story ends when the barely alive dog lies on the side of the road, while three crows are waiting to eat his brown eyes.
Jalal Al-e-Ahmad and Homa Katouzian have called "The Stray Dog" one of the best stories by Sadegh Hedayat.
