* ''Literature/MalgudiDays'': "The Blind Dog" has a prime example of this. To summarize the plot: a dog gets adopted by a blind beggar and looks after him when his caretaker dies; however, the beggar keeps getting more and more abusive of the dog. At the end, he remarks that the dog needed him to survive and would have starved on its own. But, as the descriptions show, it was actually healthy on its own and starving ''under the beggar's control'', to the point where its ribs were visible. The fridge aspect: how could the '''blind''' beggar, who could ''only have found out the dog's true condition by touching'' it, not have known this? [[{{Tearjerker}} He hadn't stroked or petted the dog after he had become reliant on it]]. KickTheDog much?
