You know what is the best feeling ever? When you come back from work, open your house gate and see a dog coming in excitement and lick you all over! That’s a great stress buster for almost every person who owns a dog. The feeling of being around with these cute furries is very different and nobody could understand that feeling until and unless they own these cute balls of fur.

While you are thinking about it, a company has already set up a startup and is all set to turn your wishful thinking into reality. They are called the Fur Ball Story. In 2016, Shrishti Sharma, a law student and the co-founder of the Fur Ball Story, made a very interesting observation on how the college authorities devised a master plan of bringing two dogs on campus just to get the students to come and attend lectures. The interesting bit is, it worked.
The student couldn’t get enough of those dogs on the college campus and so Shrishti Sharma and three of her friends decided to turn this idea of the college into a business- Animesh Katiar (a lawyer), Arushi Dixit (a designer), and Kunal Daral (an IT professional) soon turned it into an actual startup last year in December.
Currently, they have adopted three doggies namely, Muffin (a labrador), Cocoa (a shih tzu) and Angel (a golden retriever) – who are trained as therapy dogs and can meet over 40-50 people in a day without barking or snapping at them — and have been holding pet therapy sessions in various universities, corporate offices, hospitals and even private residences. Even though it is a common concept in the west, it is relatively new in our country.
