Dogs, often hailed as humans’ best friends, share a special bond of friendship and mutual support. One can bet that dogs are one of the best creations of God. Believe it or not, dogs are truly valued companions, famed for their loyalty and seemingly constant willingness to put a smile on their owners’ faces. Speaking from experience, apart from being a constant source of unconditional love and angelic innocence, they can teach you several lessons about life that nobody else could have, including a human.

While I consider myself fortunate enough to own a pet dog, I’m sure many of you haven’t had the luck for the same. While there might be countless reasons for that, the top most reason has to be space scarcity in your houses, especially if you live in Mumbai. Since Mumbai is an island city, there is limited scope for expansion but that should not stop you from spending quality time with these furry angels. So in this article I’m going to share a few places you can visit to have the time of your lives with these fuzzy babies if you are a resident or if you plan to visit Mumbai.
