The people of the city beautiful are always in love with their pets. Almost everyone in Chandigarh is very much in love with dogs. The love for pets, attracts hundreds of people to an annual dog show which is being held at Leisure Valley in Chandigarh.
Chandigarh Kennel Club had organised a dog show on Sunday (29th January 2017), where various breeds of dogs participated in different games organised in the show. Mayor of Chandigarh, Asha Jaswal inaugurated the event.

The Great Initiative at Chandigarh Dog Show
It has always been a misconception that a dog show involves cruelty and it requires dogs to do tricks by their owners. But in reality, these shows simply compare the ideal features of their breeds and prove to be an entertaining activity for viewers. Along with various participating dogs, the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) had also put up a stall for stray animals, who were up for adoption. The stall urged people to adopt dogs rather than buying.
All in all the Chandigarh Dog show at leisure valley was a great event, that not only saw participation from the different breed of dogs but also taught the people of Chandigarh to adopt a stray dog rather than buying one. We hope this kind of initiative should be promoted all over India so that a lonely animal can get a caring home.
