If you are someone who follows Ratan Tata, you would know that he is an ardent dog lover. In fact, he can go to any extent to look after dogs. In the past, he didn’t attend an event he was invited to by Prince Charles because his pet dog was sick. In another incident, it was revealed that one of his pet dogs named Goa consistently accompanied him to his meetings.
Since monsoon season has already begun in most parts of the country, Ratan Tata took the opportunity to share an important message with his followers. Taking to Twitter, he shared how stray dogs and cats often take shelter under our cars during monsoon. He asked people to check under their vehicles before hitting start so as to avoid any injuries that might be caused to the animals.
“Now that the monsoons are here, a lot of stray cats and dogs take shelter under our cars. It is important to check under our car before we turn it on and accelerate to avoid injuries to stray animals taking shelter.”
He further asked people to be kind enough to offer them temporary shelter while it is pouring outside.
“They can be seriously injured, handicapped and even killed if we are unaware of their presence under our vehicles. It would be heartwarming if we could all offer them temporary shelter when it is pouring this season.”

People online adored his message and said that it takes a kind heart to think about animals and make sure they are safe. Many lauded him for his love towards stray animals. Here’s what some of them said:
Small acts of kindness can make a world of difference!
As the monsoons pour down, our cars become accidental shelters for stray cats and dogs.
Before you head out, be their guardian angel, check under your vehicle, and offer a safe haven when the raindrops fall.
