Our co-founder, Dr. Kuhu Roy is a practicing nutritionist with a passion in the area of Metabolic Dysfunction associated Steatotic Liver Disease and other lifestyle disorders. She is also the first certified pet loss grief specialist in India.
When streets get too cold and cruel for survival, she adopts those with special needs; blind, paralyzed, amputees. She believes this marginalized segment of stray dogs is worthy of love and a home.
Born out of her grief of having seen countless painful deaths in the past two decades of her service to stray dogs and the death due to negligence of her dog boss named Butter as the final nail in the coffin, she took up on the taboo and made her mission to normalize the conversation around the loss of companion animals in India. A first in India, she runs and moderates support groups for those grieving the loss of their companion animals since 2021.
Along with Mrs. Roy, she has co-authored Can a stray dog become man’s best friend? 5 steps to harmonious living with stray dogs (available on Amazon https://www.amazon.in/stray-become-mans-best-friend-ebook/dp/B0BJ97CGF1) decoding the Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme to create awareness regarding spay and neuter. She believes that ABC is the only means to strive for man-stray dog harmony and has been requesting the Government to digitalise the scientific programme for accountability and transparency, regardless of the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023.
