KATHMANDU: APRIL. 5 – A Tamil Nadu man proved that dogs are a man’s best friend. Muthu, an 82-year-old retired government employee, has built a temple in Sivaganga’s Manamadurai in memory of his late dog, Tom.

Muthu told the news agency that he loves his dog more than his child. “Tom had been a part of my life since 2010, but he passed away in 2021. My grandfather, grandmother, and father were all dog owners “he explained.

Muthu spent 80,000 on his late dog’s marble statue, which was installed in January of this year. According to his son Manoj Kumar, they intend to construct a dog temple in the future.
