Man's best friend gets a human funeral!
Dog Training
VIJAYAWADA: A pall of gloom descended on the house of Gangadhara Rao at Kamaiahthopu on the city outskirts when shiny died on Saturday.
The tragedy drew over 250 people to the house. A usual scene when tragedy strikes. But Shiny was no human. It was a pet dog that endeared Gangadhara Rao and his family for many years.
The pet was draped in new clothes kept in an ice chamber and then the last rites were performed with full honours. The loss is irreparable for Gandadhara Rao's family.
"They loved the pet as their own son. Their only daughter Praveena (20), who has been staying in London after her marriage, has not yet been informed as the news would upset her," said a family friend.
Shiny, a breed dog, that joined the Gangadhara Rao family seven years ago, lived life king size. The family provided the best facilities they could afford. It was allotted a separate air-conditioned room and was provided a bed and was spoon-fed till the last.
A few days ago when the Vet doctor suggested physiotherapy, the family allotted a room for the pet in the upstairs. However, Shiny could not recover from her sickness and died on Saturday.
