Dogs Are The Best

Happy Kukur Tihar! The Nepali festival that honours dogs and one of the few festivals to do so worldwide. On this day all dogs, including street dogs, are revered and given extra treats.

Dogs deserve our kindness 365 days a year, but it's great to have an excuse to celebrate it. pic.twitter.com/UZfq49XvQc
