Our Chairperson, Mrs. Hansa Roy is a retired geoscientist, who has dedicated two decades of her life to public health service by having looked after the lifetime well being of more than four thousand stray dogs in the city of Baroda, Gujarat, India. She has given her time, emotions, efforts and own money to the cause. Single-handedly, in the absence of public participation, she had managed to attain 100% sterilisation by combing areas, befriending stray dogs through active feeding and love, and has never had a rabies case in any of her dogs under her care.

She continues to do all the groundwork herself at age sixty three. Presently, she travels around about fifty kilometres every day tending to an average of three hundred stray dogs at different locations across Baroda, who are under her lifetime care. Each of her children, that is what she prefers to call them, has a name they identify themselves with and a compelling heroic story of their own. They await her, to be fed one nutritious meal in a clean bowl, have their medical needs looked after and get the love and dignity they so deserve. She is a daily constant in their otherwise unpredictable life.
