Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had been on a private visit to Goa recently. During his visit, he visited a dog kennel in Mapusa town in North Goa that is run by Shivani Pittre and her husband Stanley Braganca.
Rahul Gandhi picked up one Jack Russell Terrier puppy and took it home with him. He selected another puppy which will be sent to him later on. Rahul Gandhi had earlier sent his representative to enquire about the puppy before his visit. He visited the shelter in Mapusa on Thursday morning at about 9 while on his way to the Manohar International Airport, Mopa in North Goa.
During his visit, he was seen playing with the dogs at the shelter and was described by the owners as very humble and down to earth.
Rahul Gandhi also met up with Congress leaders, MLAs from Goa as well as Goa Pradesh Congress committee president Amit Patkar during his short visit.
