“I Poo”
August 23rd, 2008
For the most part, dogs don’t get married. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that we have anything against the institution itself - it’s just that there’s about as much point in two dogs getting married as there is in taping two pebbles together.
For humans, love is a temporary insanity that’s curable by marriage, or so the saying goes. For us dogs, love is a temporary insanity which is curable by a bucket of cold water (or a rolling tennis ball). So I don’t hold out much hope for the canine unions so pointlessly forged in this mass dog marriage in New Delhi, India, in which 500 dogs are to be enjoined in holy matrimony whether they like it or not - against their own wishes and their owner’s better judgment.
Says V K Gupta, a businessman and pug owner whose snub-nosed pooch is poised to be part of the day’s cattle market:
“For months I had been looking for ways to give my dog a social life”
Mr Gupta. All dogs need for a good social life is a nice smelling butt and a tail that wags properly, not frilly lace and Pedigree Choice Cuts flavored wedding cake (although I’ll take a slice if one’s going spare). This whole shenanigans is bound to end in a bunch of messy divorces…and a messy carpet if I’m right about that cake.
