John Abraham adopts a stray pup -names him Bailey !

John Abraham has over the years always strongly supported welfare programmes for animals and has a longstanding equation with PETA and People For Animals - While the actor has long wanted to adopt a pet ,his choc-o-bloc schedule never gave him the time.

John recently however adopted a stray three month old pup, who was rescued from the streets by an animal adoption agency.

Says a source, "John has wanted to adopt a pet for the longest time ,however, it was only last week that he met a three month old female pup who he immediately fell in love with.He has named the pup Bailey. Bailey was rescued from the streets by an agency and John recently brought her home,much to the delight of his entire family".

Very few know that John's love for animals was instilled in him by his mother Firoza Irani, who even today feeds close to a hundred stray dogs everyday.
