Man Marries Dog In India

I read about this strange news article a while back. Although I find that it is oddball, it certainly is what I would not be surprised to come from India, a very superstitious country.

It was reported that this man married a dog in a bid to lift a "curse" which befell him fifteen years ago when he stoned two dogs to death and hung them to a tree. Well, that’s pretty bad. The groom said that he his health had suffered since then and the way to lift this curse, he was led to believe, was to symbolically marry a dog.

For Better Or Worse, Till Death Do We Part

When a person decides to keep a pet, I think it should be for better or worse, till death do we part. This is one such case.

Jessy, adopted from the SPCA, suffered from various health problems, but her owners stuck by her. This cannot be said for many other owners who take the easy way out by disowning old and sickly dogs.

Climbing the Mountain

A true animal story....

A hiking party was preparing to climb the Matterhorn.

One climber in the party had a kitten. The man rose early to keep his appointment with the massive peak, leaving the kitten behind in his hotel room.

He and his party dressed in their hiking gear and began the ascent. They carried food, water, rope, mountaineering equipment, and emergency supplies.

But something unexpected happened when they reached the peak of the mountain.
