Kukur Tihar, also known as "Day of the Dogs,” is a Hindu festival in Nepal dedicated to honoring dogs.  It falls on the second day of Tihar, a five-day Hindu festival celebrated around October or November.

On this day, people worship dogs, decorating them with garlands and applying vermilion tika (a red mark) on their foreheads. Dogs are also offered food and treats

    Can’t buy the loyalty of a good dog. They literally starve to death if you die. Heart breaking loyalty.

        I’ve seen a bunch of your posts and appreciate the steady supply cute animals that you bring to the various communities here. Don’t always comment (because that would be a Herculean task!) but have learned to associate the profile picture of Agent 1BDI with exceptional, high-quality contributions.

            A social media site is only as good as it’s animal content. Thanks for your service!

      I love my.cats but loyalty is not their strongest trait. They would never attack someone to defend me, they would atack just because they want or run and hide lol
