More and more people want to honour their pets, especially dogs. They give us unconditional love and companionship. One of the most notable celebrations is Kukur Tihar, also known as the Festival of Dogs. This event originated in Nepal and is part of Diwali. On the second day of the festival, people pay tribute to dogs for their loyalty and protection.
During this celebration, both domestic and stray dogs receive special treatment. People place garlands of flowers on them and mark their foreheads with sacred coloured tika. They also offer them special meals as a token of gratitude. Many families also prepare altars to remember dogs that are no longer with them. They also leave food on the street so that homeless dogs can participate in the tribute.
The festival also includes shows, competitions, and community activities. These initiatives encourage adoption and promote respect for all dogs. In this way, the event reinforces the importance of caring for our pets and recognising their role in our lives.
To enjoy the festival even more, a good option is to offer our dogs churpi sticks with vitamins. This snack is natural and healthy. It also helps to care for their teeth and gives them a special moment as a reward for their loyalty.
