I was never a pet person — until 2020 During the first lockdown, Papa and I were heading to our farmhouse in Nagpur when we first saw Pogo — frail, weak, tied to a pole by her breeder When we confronted the breeder and threatened to report him, he fled the spot, leaving Pogo behind We couldn’t leave her there — so we brought her home She was anxious, underweight, and we soon found out she was pregnant — weighing just 25 kgs Pogo gave birth to seven Indie puppies, but her health quickly worsened Slowly, with daily vet visits, nutritious food, and all the love we could give, she recovered In fact, our bond with her inspired us to start something even bigger — Nagpur’s first pet-friendly café! It’s been five years now, and Pogo keeps us on our toes 24/7! Today, when I look at her, happy, healthy, and full of life, I realise - with a little bit of love, everything can heal HOB x Pedigree salutes people like Ankita, who rescue dogs and give them a second chance at a healthy, happy life
