Ratan Tata, who recently joined Instagram, posted a heart-melting birth anniversary message for his late pet ‘Tito’ and Internet can’t stop gushing about it. Just two post old, Tata’s Instagram account is breaking the net. He posted a cute photo of ‘Tito’, the German Shepherd, along with a message that would give goosebumps to any doggo lover! “Today would be the 14th birthday of my late dog, Tito. I still come home to two kind souls and meet so many others in and around the office. While few have the comfort of families, many struggle on the streets, and yet somehow, their affection remains the same. Those of you who strive for the welfare of the voiceless, truly have my respect,” Tata wrote on his Instagram account.
