Maharashtra Man Claims ₹4.5 Lakh Monthly Income from Dog Walking, Sparks Viral Buzz
A video of a seemingly inebriated man in Maharashtra has taken social media by storm, thanks to his surprising claims about earning a whopping ₹4.5 lakh per month — not from a corporate job or business, but by walking dogs.
In the now-viral clip, the man confidently states that he walks 38 dogs, charging ₹15,000 per dog for two walks a day. What’s caught everyone’s attention, however, is his comparison to his brother, who, despite having completed an MBA from London University, reportedly earns only ₹70,000 per month.
Speaking in a casual, Marathi-inflected style, the man says:
“My brother has done an MBA from London University and earns ₹70,000. I get ₹15,000 per dog to walk them twice daily. I have 38 dogs. Even doctors don’t earn this much. I make ₹4.5 lakh a month just by walking dogs. On Sundays alone, I earn ₹38,000 — just from giving them baths.”
While many viewers found the video amusing, it has also sparked serious conversations about unconventional career paths and the value of blue-collar jobs.
Although dog walking may seem like a simple task, it requires trust, commitment, and patience — especially when managing dozens of pets daily. In cities like Mumbai and Pune, where pet ownership is on the rise and busy professionals often lack time, pet care services are becoming essential.
In countries like the US, professional dog walkers and pet sitters are a common part of urban life. In India, the profession is still emerging, but this viral video serves as a reminder that even lesser-known jobs can offer high earnings and personal satisfaction — if done with dedication.
