India, Nov. 26 -- S ometimes all it takes is one emotional connection to change a life. For Angel, a one-month-old indie pup rescued from the streets of Noida's Sector 63, that connection arrived like an early Christmas present: a forever family. Earlier this month, Angel's adoption appeal appeared in HT City's Adopt A Pet column. It was a small box in the middle of a busy page, but it stopped one reader in his tracks. Dr Piyush Sharma paused at Angel's photograph because something about the little pup clicked instantly. "We get HT City at home and it is a daily routine for me to read it before going to my clinic," he says, "Last weekend I came across Adopt A Pet and Angel's appeal really got my attention. When I raised the idea of adopting him, everyone at home became as excited as me because of how innocent and sweet he looked." With their hearts already set, Dr Sharma travelled from Krishna Nagar to Noida with his elderly mother and his son to bring Angel home. The pup was under the careful watch of Ankita Goyal, a volunteer rescuer and feeder. "I reached out to HT City because the column has great reach and it worked so quickly that I was honestly surprised. The appeal came out on Friday and the adoption request arrived the very next day. It is encouraging to see initiatives like these connect animal lovers so easily." And Angel, the little champ has wasted no time winning hearts and kisses. It has been just a few days since he entered the Sharma household and he has settled in beautifully, as if he always belonged there. Dr Sharma smiles: "He is the baby of the house now and he has changed the entire mood at home with his cheerfulness."...
