Police dogs from Mysuru’s Dog Squad also gave an excellent performance, drawing huge applause from the audience.
Last year, about 45 breeds were registered for the show, but this year a record 650 entries were received, with around 450 breeds displayed at the exhibition. Veterinary doctors and internationally experienced judges selected the best dogs among the participants and awarded first, second, and third prizes. The spectators who attended the show expressed great appreciation for the variety of breeds and also gained useful information about different kinds of dogs.
Commotion prevailed for a while when an unidentified person injected a dog with a syringe when its proud owner was chatting with some persons in the venue.
The cops present at the venue held and took him to a nearby police station. According to eyewitness accounts, the person, who is in early 20s, was moving suspiciously in the venue by touching and irrigating the pet dogs. The same guy came to the place where Bhuvan, the owner of a dog, was talking with some people. At that time, the person went near the dog and injected it with the syringe. The onlookers held him and thrashed him. Later, the cops came to the spot and whisked him. The police found a box filled with the syringe from him and he is being questioned.
The dog owner said he would take his pet to the veterinary doctor to see what has happened to his pet.
