Mumbai's local trains are the lifeline of its people, carrying millions of commuters across the bustling metropolis every day. These trains play a vital role in connecting the city's various suburbs and facilitating the daily commute for countless residents. The journey in the local trains can also turn wholesome at times, as an Instagram user found when they spotted a dog sleeping on one of the train seats.
The now-viral video titled, "The India I want to live in," shared by @thewoofline shows the dog calmly sleeping in the corner of one of the unoccupied seats in the women's coach of the local train. Unperturbed by the commuters, the dog dozed off peacefully while smiling passengers stopped to offer soft pets.
"This train journey was so wholesome. Nobody disturbed this sweet angel. She quietly slept through the journey," the video was captioned.
"When she stayed in the same position for too long, people started checking if she was okay. Complete strangers, all worried about the well-being of a dog they had never met."
The user highlighted that this was one of the moments that would stay with them, adding that such acts of kindness rarely made the headlines.
"Some moments make your day. Some stay with you for life. This is one of them. I refuse to believe this is the same India the media keeps portraying as a nation that hates dogs. Every day, I see countless acts of quiet kindness that never make the headlines. This is the India I want to live in."
