The dogs looking up a tree where a squirell has escaped, home garden, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.



In Tamil there is a phrase 'ANIL ERAVITTA NAI POLA', meaning 'like a dog who has missed catching a squirrel which has scampered up a tree'. This epithet applies to a person who has just missed reaching his goal.
