Pugs gather for mass canine wedding at Ansal Plaza in Delhi.
Many pet lovers were delighted to attend the first of its kind mass wedding for dogs on 30th October 2008. It was the nation's first official dog marriage pageant! The special ceremony was organized in New Delhi at the Ansal Plaza amphitheatre. The mass wedding was hosted by Ansal Plaza to help pet lovers find mates for their pet dogs. Described to be the first mass wedding for dogs in India, the venue witnessed 500 dogs, clad in snazzy bridal outfits, bond with to-be life partners. Dogs wearing glitzy attire walked the ramp to woo audiences and win the hearts of judges. Over 400 dog owners registered their pets for the nuptials. Awards for "Most well-dressed dog" and "Best behaved dog" highlighted some of the facets of the participants and comprised one of the chied attractions for the onlookers. The event was a treat for dog lovers. The main attraction of the event was the marriage ceremony of Theo and Nano, the winners chosen by the judges after they had walked on the red carpet. Everyone showered the canine couple with petals of roses and wished them luck as well.
The pug is a breed of dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face and curled tail. The breed has a fine, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colours, although most often fawn or black, and a compact square body with well-developed muscles.
Pugs were brought from China to Europe in the sixteenth century and were popularized in Western Europe by the House of Orange of the Netherlands, and the House of Stuart. Pugs as breeding animals may have contributed to the English Bulldog, the modern Pekingese and the King Charles Spaniel.
Pugs remain popular into the twenty-first century, with some famous celebrity owners. A pug was judged Best in Show at the World Dog Show in 2004.
