Mumbai, April 11 (NationPress) Actress Madhuri Dixit marked National Pet Day in the most adorable way by snuggling with her cherished dog, Carmelo.
The actress shared a touching moment with her furry friend on social media. On her Instagram stories, the Dhak Dhak girl uploaded a lovely collage featuring her pet dog.

The caption on the post read, “Times full of tail wags, quiet cuddles, and endless love. Happy Pet Day, Carmelo.”
In 2019, Madhuri Dixit and Dr. Shriram Nene took in a stray puppy on their son's birthday, March 17. They named him Carmelo Nene. The 'Devdas' actress took to X to share photos of their newly adopted puppy with her family, stating, “The smiles on our faces show how this little pup stole our hearts! Welcome to the family Carmelo Nene. I urge all animal lovers to adopt pets & see how they fill your life with joy.”
Madhuri Dixit has long been a supporter of animal welfare, and her affection for stray animals is well recognized. Prior to bringing Carmelo home, Dixit had adopted another rescue dog, Riya, who has since passed away.
In 2013, Madhuri made news when she rescued seven vulnerable puppies on the set of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. The puppies had been trapped in torrential rain the night before, and with the help of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), she ensured they got the medical care they desperately required.
Meanwhile, National Pet Day is observed annually on April 11, celebrating the unconditional love, joy, and companionship that pets bring into our lives. Initiated in 2006 by animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige, this day also promotes pet adoption and raises awareness about animal welfare.
