The sound of thunder and heavy rain is terrifying for most animals, especially stray animals who donât have a warm spot in a cozy house. Theyâre stuck on the cold streets with nothing else other than heavy rains soaking in their fur coat. Itâs a heartbreaking sight to see. Thankfully, there are still many good people who are willing to help these poor animals and give them shelter during rainstorms.

Over the past few days, heavy rains have flooded the streets of Kolkata, India, forcing humans and animals to seek shelter from the storm. A police officer named Constable Tarun Kumar Mandal was directing traffic at a major road on Saturday when he received some unexpected company. Two drenched stray dogs flocked to him and sat under his umbrella.

Everyone was delighted to watch the cop perform his duty with his âunexpected companionsâ. Kolkata Police posted the picture on Twitter, crowning it, âMoment of the dayâ. And for the two grateful street dogs, they appeared to be happy after finding a place to relax during the storm. And the look on their faces says it all.

India is one of the highest stray populations in the world. A Dogs Love estimates about 35-40 million stray dogs exist in this country. There’s a long way to go to help these animals, but the Kolkata police rise beyond the call of duty to help animals in need or simply give them a place to rest.
