Man marries dog for luck, then dies
A 75-year-old man in Nepal married a dog in a local custom to ensure good luck only to die three days later.

With his son and other relatives by his side, Phulram Chaudhary tied the knot with a dog on Saturday in Durgauli village in the southwestern Kailali district. He was following a custom of his Tharu community which holds that an old man who regrows teeth must take a dog as a bride. “He believed that this would help him avoid great misfortune later in life. However, he died a few days afterward.”
