37. The Bodhisatta – As a dog

Once upon a time when Brahmadatta was reigning in Benares, the result of a past act of the Bodhisatta was that he came to life as a dog. He lived as the head of several hundred dogs in a great cemetery.

One day, the king rode in his chariot drawn by milk-white horses. After amusing himself all the day in the grounds, the king came back to the city after sunset.
