“Ek hi toh dil hai sir, kitni bar jitogey? Stray Dog Sheltering at West Side Store in Mumbai Goes Viral
A heartwarming video of a stray dog finding refuge at a West Side store during heavy rain in Mumbai has gone viral, earning praise for Ratan Tata, whose compassion for animals is well-known.
The video, shared by actor and blogger Aditi Khinchi on her Instagram, shows the dog peacefully sitting inside the store—a part of the Tata enterprise.
Khinchi’s post read, “Today I saw this doggo sitting peacefully at @westsidestores in my city while it was raining and I was surprised because it’s not very common here. No one allows dogs or cats to take shelter in their showrooms.”
The video also has the text, “This is why I love @ratantata,” and “Ek hi toh dil hai sir, kitni bar jitogey?
Ratan Tata, the renowned industrialist, has long been celebrated for his love of animals, especially dogs. This incident comes just after another notable act of kindness; in May, a LinkedIn user shared that Tata has firmly instructed the staff at Mumbai’s Taj Hotel to treat stray animals with care if they wandered into the premises. This directive garnered widespread attention and admiration.
Reflecting on Tata’s ongoing efforts, Khinchi wrote, “Then I realized that it’s TATA Enterprises and who owns it. Ratan Tata sir, thanks so much. Thanks to the staff who was so kind to give shelter to this dog during heavy rainfall. Kindness still exists.”
A second user commented, “Ratan Tata the gem …good fellows foundation for elderly…foundation for animals n stray dogs ..army personal staying at concessional rates in taj ..hard to imagine India’s profess without him”.
On July 1, Ratan Tata demonstrated his commitment to animal welfare by launching a Small Animal Hospital in Mumbai.
These initiatives underscore Tata’s dedication to ensuring the well-being of animals. It also highlights the broader impact of his compassionate leadership.
