Industrialist Ratan Tata reportedly took to his official Instagram account to share an appeal for a dog named Sur who he said was looking for a loving home for adoption. In his post on Instagram, the philanthropist wrote that the 10-month-old dog has changed family multiple times.

Tata, who is renowned for his love for dogs, appealed to his 1.3 million Instagram followers to help find Sur a family in Pune. He shared an adorable picture and a video of the dog online saying that Sur no longer has a family to take care of him. He wrote, “One can still see the spirit and love she carries and the hope to belong somewhere. It is heartbreaking to get attached to someone never to see them again”.
