A toddler has reportedly been married off to a dog in eastern India in a bid to prevent his predicted death by a tiger. Skip related content
The ceremony, at a Hindu temple in Orissa state's Jajpur district, was conducted with all the rituals observed at traditional weddings.
It included a dowry for the bride, the village b**ch.
The dog sported two silver rings and a silver chain, the UNI news agency reported.
Parents of the groom, 18-month-old Sangula, were advised to arrange the marriage when they noticed a tooth growing from their infant son's upper gum.
The growth was considered to be a bad omen in the boy's tribal community.
Village elders believed it would lead to him being killed in a tiger attack - a fate preventable, according to tribal tradition, by marrying a dog.
Sanrumula Munda, Sangula's father, said the ceremony would not stop him from marrying properly when he comes of age.
Superstition is still a potent force in tribal and remote communities of India.
Tsch. I could have sold them my tiger-repelling rock for much less than a wedding costs.

My Tiger Balm (cookie for reference recognition) is better than your pinecone.
