The report quotes him as saying, “My wife was a true dog lover. She used to really care about them. She would take ailing dogs to doctors, and ensure medication for them. This gave me a thought to build a hospital for dogs to keep alive the memories of my wife.”
His love for pets was evident when he said that at times he was forced to sleep on the floor during the days when he had to attend late meetings because his dogs would already sleep on the bed.
Chatterjee, who became a lawmaker in 2001 for the first time, is quite secretive and careful about his pet dogs. Neither does he post their pictures on social media websites like Facebook, nor does he allow others to click their photographs.
“There is lack of veterinary hospitals in Kolkata. My wife often used to talk about this to me. Members of trust are constantly in touch with me and several veterinary doctors. I have asked them to ensure the best of facilities for dogs. I have also asked them to speed things up,” Chatterjee told Prabhat Khabar.
