“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. 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,” wrote Ratan Tata while sharing a picture on Instagram. The picture shows a dog sitting on a road with a collar around his neck. The collar has a QR code attached to it.
