A furry tail fairytale

Talk about Zilleniels! We’ve all gone on a blind date, or at least heard of one. Celebrating National Pets Day and Times of India’s 16th anniversary in Chennai, we tweaked the concept a little more and organised a paw-dorable blind pet date for our readers. As we found our forever home in Chennai, Chennai Times orchestrated this event, where our readers met kittens and puppies, assigned to them at random, and bonded with them over a cute little date.

While there were 45 entries, four puppies found their fur-ever homes.

Our celeb guest Pavithralakshmi of Cooku with Comali fame, had a lovely time with the fur babies. “I felt very glad to be part of this event, because it involved animals. There are so many people who voice out for humans, but very few to voice out for animals. Personally, I advocate adoption big time. My philosophy is, ‘Adopt, don’t shop’. I have two dogs — Coffee and Coco. One of them is adopted while the other was gifted to me by my friend,” she said.
