Dumbya has gotten booted from place to place. Everywhere he goes, they feed him and then kick him out. He will end his tour by trying to rebuke Putin. And Putin will tell Dumbya to go Cheney himself.

Tribals marry off boys, girls to puppies

Two small boys and two girls were married off to four puppies by tribal villagers in the small northern Indian state of Jharkhand to ward off evil, a report said on Wednesday.

Local officials in Kuluptang village in Jharkhand said the “kukur vibaha” or dogs’ marriages, were organised on the last day of a local tribal festival, the Press Trust of India news agency said.

One of the tribals, 54-year-old Sonamuni, who blessed the marriage of her three-year-old grand-daughter Priya, said the wedding was no less important than other such ceremonies and all customs normally associated with marriage were followed.

The mother of “groom” Durga, aged one, said that if the first tooth of a baby came out in the upper jaw it was considered “inauspicious” for the child as well as the family and dog marriages had to be performed. After a bath in a nearby river, the children are taken to a place of worship in a procession accompanied by a band.

Neighbours and relatives of the four children danced to music performed by the band before the marriages were solemnised with puppies of the opposite sex, the report said. afp
