This year's International Dog Day, on 26th August, held an added significance for many families around the world.

Many people left isolated by the Covid-19 lockdown have looked to our four-legged companions to ease the loneliness.

Over 3 million people have contracted Coronavirus in India, which endured a month long lockdown.

But with the partial lifting of the lockdown restrictions, there was a surge in people fostering and adopting puppies.

The manager of an animal welfare organisation, Dawn William:

India is home to roughly 30 million stray dogs, mongrels known as "desi" or "indie".

Animal activists have long campaigned for dog lovers to adopt these homeless hounds.

Whilst some older generations still have a preference for pedigrees, street dogs are finding their way into the hearts and homes of the younger generation.
