In Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor district, a stray dog was observed circling idols of Lord Hanuman and Maa Durga continuously for over 36 hours, attracting local devotees who began worshipping it as a spiritual sign or incarnation. Veterinary experts and medical explanations suggest the dog's behaviour may result from neurological disorders or inner ear issues. While some locals and priests supported the devotional response, many social media users and animal welfare advocates urged for medical care, highlighting concerns over the dog's health and wellbeing.
