The skipper of the Indian cricket team and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Virat Kohli, visited Charlie’s Animal Rescue Center (CARE) last week. The young skipper is identified for his love of dogs and on a regular basis posts pictures of his dearly loved pet Beagle ‘Bruno’ on Instagram.

On 16th April, Virat entered the premises of the Kennel house and was making the acquaintance by the happy canines. The people at CARE weren’t aware that their guest would be the skipper of the cricket team.

“It was simply incredible this morning to see Virat Kohli’s car pulling up inside the gates of CARE” shared on their Facebook page. A founder trustee from CARE said “All we knew was that a VIP would be visiting the center. We weren’t told who. We were asked to keep the place free of any media and have no one here except the staff and trustees.”

Virat’s 10-minute scheduled meet became a 45-minute stay as he met and played with the charming dogs there. On his arrival, he was welcomed by Dash, a Labrador with special needs, who pounced on the guest. The way he managed the excited dog won the hearts of everyone at the shelter.

His idea for the visit was to extend the message that dogs must be adopted and asked the staff to share this message on their Facebook page. Virat then passively adopted 15 out of the 50 special needs dogs at CARE. The captain is now ready to take care of the financial needs of the dogs.
