Then one day he entered upon another path, and though
being prevented by the dog standing across the path,
he did not turn back, but he removed him with his foot
and proceeded. The dog, on knowing that he wasn�t
turning back, bit the hem of his robe, and dragging
him, ensured he reached the path that was supposed to
be taken. Thus the dog gave rise to powerful
affection towards this Solitary Buddha.
