However, soon after the video, which is titled ‘Where Is Mau?', was shared online, netizens expressed disappointment with it. While some accused Gaurav Taneja of being “selfish", others bashed him and promised to unsubscribe to his YouTube channel.

Netizens Bashed Him:

Bashing him, a user wrote, "Am I the only one crying thinking about the dog's emotions? How can humans be so selfish? You get a literally newborn baby to your home, give him hope of having a new family and then one fine day you just leave him all alone. I have never wished ill on anyone but for this man and his family I do."

“A dog is not an object. Duniya main har cheez apni convenience ya faayde ke liye mat karo. Mat banao tamasha har cheez ka har zindagi ka," added another user. “Should have thought this before bringing him, no offense," a third comment read.

“Don't get a pet if you can't commit to looking after them. No religion teaches to abandon your pets, you bring them home as your own child. Grow up and own your selfishness," read another comment.
