The pet dog, who has been named Goa lives at Bombay House, the global headquarters of Tata Group. Interestingly, in 2018, the Tata group had reopened its headquarters with a special kennel dedicated to stray dogs living in and around the area.

According to a report in the Economic Times, Goa is the leader of the pack of the dogs that stay at the Bombay House He is also Ratan Tata's favourite. Wonder why? Well, a long-time occupant of Bombay House said, "He would wait for Mr. Tata to arrive each morning at Bombay House and ride up the elevator with him. Goa had even earmarked a couch to sleep on in the office."

So, how did the pet dog got his unusual name? Interestingly, Goa was a puppy when he was brought to Bombay from Goa. During the journey, he got into Tata's car and arrived in Mumbai with him itself. This isn't the first time that the business magnate has shown his love for dogs.
