As Nirmal says “People have college friends groups, work groups, we have a Pets Group. They would meet in the Mornings and the Evenings with all their dogs.
Once a month they have a get-together, the group has 30+ odd members and 40 Dogs as Nirmal Says “In June I had celebrated Bobo’s 3rd Birthday, so we had 25 odd people from the group at my place”. “We also go out for Picnics and mainly look for a Pool side place for the dogs”. They organize small events like meetups, dogathon etc to boost these dogs.
