A five-year-old dog, who was missing for the last three months from Shivaji Park at Dadar West, was finally found from a farm house in Sangamner, Nashik on Friday. The dog had gone missing from its usual territory in Shivaji Park since Ambedkar Jayanti on December 6, a day when the area sees a high footfall.

Ruchi Singhi, a 29-year-old from the area who used to feed the dog, circulated posters and brochures, which led her to Nashik. She told mid-day, “Someone abandoned this dog around Shivaji Park in 2018. We found him and named him Bagheera due to his resemblance to the Mowgli character. Bagheera is popular in the area as he is friendly and never hurts anyone. He also protects other dogs and animals in the area. He went missing on December 6 when thousands of people came here to celebrate Ambedkar Jayanti.”
