Rakesh Shukla is a software engineer who is known as the man who looks after stray dogs in India. He is sheltering over 735 dogs. He is referred to as ‘The Dog Father’ and calls his furry little friends his ‘babies’.
The dogs that the man shelters are strays or abandoned by their owners. He recently took in a group of 22 pedigreed dogs whose owner, a city businessman, died. The man created this place of haven for dogs that are old, ailing or simply unwanted.
“I’m the last stop for these dogs. They are no longer cute and cuddly. Many are sick and no longer wanted,” said Mr Shukla.
“The farm employs about 10 people, including trained veterinary assistants, to look after the dogs, cook for them and feed them. The dogs are fed 200kg of chicken and another 200kg of rice daily and many of the sick ones need regular medicines and attention.”
