Yesterday (Wednesday) in Nepal, dogs across the country were “worshipped and thanked for their loyalty and invaluable friendship”.

The day of worship falls on the second day of a five-day Hindu festival called Tihar.

As you can see, the dogs are decorated with garlands of Marigold flowers. They are also offered delicious food to feast on.
