Business pioneer Ratan Tata recently took to Instagram to appeal for the adoption of an abandoned dog. The industrialist shared pictures of the 9-month-old labrador, Myra. Along with the pictures, he also shared a link to a form where interest people could fill their details.

In the post-Tata wrote, “Of all the different sufferings that animals today have to go through, my heart truly breaks for the ones that get abandoned by families. I cannot imagine what must go through their minds when one day they have a home, and the next they don’t. The kindness in 9-month-old Myra’s eyes still stays after being abandoned, and I could really use your help in finding her a family. Please don’t be hasty in making this decision, but if you know someone or if you are that someone willing to make her believe in us again, please fill the link in my bio #onehomeatatime”.
