Mumbai, India – Renowned industrialist Ratan Tata, a staunch advocate for animal welfare, has once again demonstrated his compassion for our four-legged friends. The Chairman Emeritus of the Tata Group recently took to Instagram to share heartwarming pictures of a lost dog found by his office. The dog, which had been wandering alone, was spotted at Sion Hospital in Mumbai, prompting Tata to make a heartfelt appeal for assistance in reuniting the dog with its owner.
Known for his unwavering commitment to animal welfare, Ratan Tata has even established a special kennel for stray dogs at the Tata Group’s global headquarters in Mumbai. His latest Instagram post serves as a testament to his dedication to the cause.
In the post, Tata shared images of the lost canine and issued an appeal to the public, saying, “My office has found an abandoned/lost dog last night at Sion Hospital, Mumbai. If you are his guardian or have any leads, please email [email protected] with some evidence of ownership.”
He also reassured the concerned public that the dog was in their care and was receiving treatment for its injuries.
The response to Tata’s post was overwhelmingly positive, with many users praising his humane efforts. One user commented, “What a humanitarian you are,” while another wrote, “You are an inspiration to dog lovers and those who care for voiceless animals.”
A third user expressed, “This man keeps defining what ‘Humanity’ is at each and every stage of life. You’re an inspiration to a billion people. Respect to this legend.”
Tata’s love for animals extends beyond just words. In a previous social media post during the monsoon season in Mumbai, he urged people to check under their cars for stray animals that might have sought shelter from the rain. He emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of these vulnerable animals, stating, “They can be seriously injured, handicapped, and even killed if we are unaware of their presence under our vehicles.”
Ratan Tata’s commitment to the welfare of animals is well-documented. In a notable instance in 2018, he declined to attend a lifetime award ceremony in London, where he was to receive an accolade from Prince Charles at the Buckingham Palace, due to the illness of one of his dogs, Tito.
Ratan Tata’s compassion for animals serves as an inspiration to many and underscores the importance of extending a helping hand to our furry companions in need.
