Taj employee shares umbrella with stray dog, ‘heartwarming’ says Ratan Tata

Mumbai: The monsoon season is one of the most joyful times of the year for most Indians. However, it is also hard for those who lack a roof over their heads and are compelled to sleep on the streets. While humans can often find shelter in one place or another, animals cannot. A little thought on our part is all that’s needed to help them through such tough times. An employee of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai shared an umbrella with a stray dog during a rainy day. The act of kindness was captured on camera. The picture quickly went viral on social media, catching the attention of Tata Group chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata. Tata Group owns the prestigious hotel chain.

Ratan Tata shared the image on his Instagram account, writing: ‘Sharing comfort with the strays this monsoon. This Taj employee was kind enough to share his umbrella with one of the many strays while it was pouring quite heavily. A heartwarming moment captured in the busy hustle of Mumbai. Gestures like these go a long way for stray animals.’ The note ended with a heart emoji.
