The Light of our Hearts

Theo (Theodore), a Golden Retriever, came into their lives because Runa got a dream one night about owning a dog. After a series of events that pursued, this little baby arrived in a cardboard box on 27 Jan 2021 and it was unanimously agreed to name the pup Theo. And, it was later that they realized Theodore meant ‘God sent’.

Initially, the first 4 weeks were tough because they did not know a thing about training. “We grew along with him. We accommodated with his teething and wore just torn clothes for the first 5 months of his life. We took help and reassurance from seasoned pet owners on what to expect. And, very quickly everything fell into place. We started taking long walks, went for swims, went on vacations, and our part of our lives revolved only around Theo with us wanting to give the best life has to offer though we knew luxury meant nothing to him and it was just ‘us’ that he cared for,” shared Runa.

Theo brought in a lot of fun and joy. As they say, nothing beats a wagging tail when you return home from anywhere. Theo made friends with many dogs and all their shenanigans are so hilarious in every way that there is never a dull moment. Runa says that she has learnt to live in the moment with anything that is around. Theo has taught her that everything can be won over with simplicity. He has taught that life may be short, but you need to learn to live it big. So, play around, jump up high, hug people, and demand people to love you.

Theo’s older Sister, Riva, said that Theo brought so much entertainment to their lives when they were stuck in Covid. “Being away from home now, it breaks my heart to see him through a screen for most of the year round. But I wouldn’t trade him for the world,” said Riva.

“Theo is always someone who is by my side. Whether it comes to studying, where he sits next to me and scratches if I am not petting him for 3 seconds, or when I am eating anything, he is beside me wanting to get a part of it. However, he is always a cuddle boy for me and I love to spend my time sitting and sleeping next to him,” added Theo’s just a little older brother, Tanay.
