After entering into the field of Journalism, the very first quote that was taught us was “If a dog bites a man, it is not some news. But, if a man bites a dog it is."
But my jaw dropped when I heard this from a friend. After this, one has to admit that people in India are too wealthy. Gratifying basic desires is not just the line for Big Stout Indian families.
You don't believe me, well you will after reading this fairy-tale.
Two Amritsar-based families are all set to throw a lavish wedding party for their friends where their much-loved dogs will tie the nuptial knot.
R.K. Khosla of Officers Colony and S. Bawa of Ranjeet Avenue have decided to host a colourful wedding ceremony for their pooches – Jacks and Jennifer – on September 11. The marriage will be solemnised as per the Hindu rituals and other ceremonies such as the ring ceremony, Mehandi and Barat will also be organised.
And what’s more, famous Punjabi singer Sabar Koti will rock the wedding bash. The families, however, will not accept any gift.
The hustle and bustle has already begun as the families are busy finalising the programmes.
“The invitation cards have already been printed and are being distributed. The place for the wedding has also been booked. The ceremony will take place on a platform where the groom, Jacks, and the bride, Jennifer, will offer lockets to each other,” said Khosla, the proud owner of Jacks.
But the icing on the cake is that the newly-weds will go to England for their honeymoon.
“We asked several five-star hotels in India to book a honeymoon suite for Jennifer and Jacks but they refused. We were even ready to pay some extra money to them, but they refused. Finally, we have fixed London as their honeymoon destination where dogs are allowed in hotels,” Khosla said.
Jacks’s father, who is from London, is an intentional dog champion and lives in America. His mother Jesina lives in London.
“Jacks has an air-conditioned bedroom which also has a swing. He watches television soaps and is intelligent. A doctor attends to him every day. Nobody can dare to enter the house when the children alone at home with him,” Khosla said.
Oh Yes! So I can see that expression same as mine when I also heard this.
After this I can surely say that love for pets is just in excess of those for humans. So, next time if you try to push away someone's pet, BEWARE! They might be an imperative part of the family.
