Another user remarked, “Born free, live free. Migratory birds do not need visas, documents, or anyone's permission to travel across countries and continents. Man is a self-styled, self-destructive owner of Earth but only until their last breath; then they also go without a visa or documents or permission to their original home in space.”

A third commenter described the dog as a guest, saying, “Some nice entertainment for both sides of the Wagah border... Atithi Devo Bhava—welcome with love and peace.”

The Indian Army is now taking care of the dog.
