    Very nice pictures . Some times i feel these animals are far better than human beings. They dont belongs to any religion/cast/ creed may be there is a diffrerent in breeds. After all these animals are honest than human beings.

    Civilized people and their democratic governments cannot have a dialogue with fringe groups. Talking to goondas, rowdies and worthless creatures is totally unethical. You should not talk to them at any cost. We cannot have a dialogue with Rogue organizations and its members. They must be treated with iron hands and solid resoluteness. They must be eliminated without a second thought. Delay in wiping them off will prove to be disastrous for Mangalore and Karnataka. They do not deserve mercy nor encouragement. They are harm to the society and its progress and peace and stability.

    Canines of different breeds behaved nicely on their day out. I wonder if humans behave nicely without thinking of caste,creed or religion, then, this world itself is heaven for us.

    Does Rama Sena oppose this culture of Dog shows? Did Muthalik and his men invited to watch dogs ? Does PP HEDGE was around ? Dog shows are really nice to watch nice dogs ....

    Mr.Yatheem, for Gods sake don’t try to mix each and every happenings around you with SENA, because now its out dated Issue and it is boring to readers. If you have courage, approach them and talk to the Sena members directly. I know people have a right to comment but it’s too much dear….

    It is nice to encourage in participating our pets in the show.But our pet Dogs were suffering in the hot sun.The arrangements were not satisfactory.Our pets were waiting for their turn 5-6hrs.It could have done by group session.Due to change of place some pets were looking for place of comfort.They were not showing interest.

    It was nice to see the "Man's best friend" - Bow Bow, in different shapes, sizes and colours. Hope the programme was incident free, without any dogs escaping to fight with each other.

    Looks like a great show. Is there a canine club in Mangalore? How about the dog show in Mangalore. I can see a number of dog lovers in Mangalore.
