In a heartwarming story from the streets of Mumbai, a 70-year-old watchman called Guptaji has captured the city's heart with his extraordinary dedication to his canine companion. Every day, he cycles 20 kilometres between Dahisar and Borivali while carrying his 30-kilogram dog, Tiger, refusing to leave his faithful friend behind.
The story, shared by the Instagram page streetdogsofbombay, reveals the struggles and compassion of Guptaji’s life. Despite earning only a few thousand rupees per month, he not only cares for Tiger but also feeds stray dogs and puppies daily.
The viral video highlights his humble work conditions—sitting in a mosquito-filled area with no fan or light—but always with his best friend by his side.
Netizens have showered blessings on the duo, with many expressing a desire to help. Guptaji's story truly serves as a powerful reminder that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in the capacity to love and care for others.
