Who did Sai Baba instruct to feed a black dog, and for what specific reason?

The provided text from Chapter 41 does not contain any information about Sai Baba instructing anyone to feed a black dog. Instead, these sections focus on a devotee named Balasaheb Deo and his personal spiritual struggles. The text describes how Deo had a great desire to read the Dnyaneshwari daily but consistently faced obstacles that prevented him from maintaining this practice. As detailed in Chapter 41, this led him to resolve that he would only begin reading it again when he received a direct order from Sai Baba himself, demonstrating his faith amidst his difficulties.
