Countless stray dogs in the world have to fend for themselves without a loving family. Seeing people extend kindness to these animals is truly heartwarming.
Stray dogs, lacking shelter, deserve protection from harsh weather, be it extreme heat, cold, or a rainy day.
A police officer from Calcutta, India, recently gained fame for using his umbrella to protect two stray dogs from the rain.
Tarun Kumar Mandal, a traffic unit officer in Calcutta, found himself in heavy rain at a complex intersection when two stray dogs sought refuge under his umbrella.
The heartwarming photo, captured by photographer Sayan Chakraborty and shared by the Calcutta police’s Facebook page, has gone viral and been shared over 10,000 times, as per Indian Express.
The touching act even inspired some to create ‘fan art’ in response.
India is home to one of the world’s largest populations of stray dogs, estimated at 35 to 40 million.
Calcutta faced its highest September rainfall in 14 years, making this kind gesture of sheltering the dogs even more significant. These animals were likely soaked and truly appreciated the respite offered by the compassionate officer.
Such a heartwarming photo! It’s uplifting to witness people extending care and love to stray dogs when they need it the most.
