Mumbai's local trains, often called the city's lifeline, are known for carrying millions daily. Beyond being essential for commuting, these trains often become spaces where people connect, share stories, and sometimes enjoy unexpected moments. Recently, a golden retriever named Minnie added a dose of joy to a journey, leaving passengers smiling. In an Instagram video shared by user Srijani Das, Minnie was seen comfortably seated inside her owner's backpack during a local train ride. Her relaxed and adorable presence quickly won the hearts of fellow commuters.
One young passenger was spotted gently petting Minnie, while others waved at the dog, clearly delighted by her company. The owner had placed Minnie in a bag with just her head peeking out, allowing passengers to interact without any disturbance. The video showed how passengers momentarily forgot their daily struggles, enjoying the heart-warming moments of joy that Minnie brought into their day.
