In a poignant farewell, Ratan Tata’s cherished dog, Goa, was present to honor the industrialist on October 10 at the National Centre for Performing Arts in Mumbai. The black dog, marked by white paws and a distinctive patch, sat loyally beside Tata’s casket draped in the Indian flag, refusing to leave his side.

Goa’s name stems from a touching backstory: he was adopted by Tata during a trip to Goa after the stray dog followed him, leading to a deep bond over their eleven years together. Tata’s dedication to his pets was further illustrated when he once chose to forego a prestigious award ceremony to care for an ailing dog, highlighting his compassion and love for animals.

The touching scene of Goa at Tata’s memorial resonated deeply with many, showcasing the profound relationship they shared. This heartfelt moment has been widely shared and discussed on social media, reminding everyone of the unique bond between humans and their pets.
