Its because her uncle’s two-yearold Yorkshire Terrier is waiting to greet her at the door. He climbs all over her, runs speedily in the room, brings his toy and signals her to throw it for him to fetch it and bring it back. In these few moments of playing with him and getting his unconditional love, her work woes and tiredness seems to melt away.
“As a Chartered Accountant in a bank, I have long hours so keeping a pet is an impossible thought. But thanks to the joint family set-up, I live in, I can enjoy the perks of getting him home for a few days from my uncle’s home, every now and then, to enjoy his energetic presence,” she chuckles.
Her husband, Deepak Khatri, shares her canine fixation and agrees that in the hustle phase of todays’ stressed life, these furry friends can actually gauge your mental state and help reduce your stress levels. “Scientifically also it is known that dogs reduce the stress hormone, Cortisol and are so attuned to human behavior that they interpret your voice tone or body language. Its amazing to see this companionship between a dog and his master,” he elucidates.
