It is a known fact that people can do a lot in order to catch public attention, for example, to go to the Star Factory or to organize protest actions. Alliances between people and dogs, horses, phantoms and snakes seem to have the same roots. But it turned out that this phenomenon has other reasons.

If you want happiness, you will love even a goat. So people marry animals to avoid a bad lot. However, it is unknown whether marriage with a goat is happy or not, but there are quite a few marriages with dogs. For example, in June 2003 a nine-year-old Indian girl married a mongrel. This event brought together about 100 people who behaved as if they were at a human wedding – they danced and drank. It should be noted that there were not fewer people there than at any Hollywood wedding.
Another incident occurred in Nepal in 2004. A 75-year-old man married a dog to provide himself a guarantee of immortality. However, this alliance seemed to be unhappy. Several days later the old man died. In fact, India is a valuable source for shocking news. Its customs to marry “saint basil” prove that once again. Before a man marries a woman for the second time, he must marry grass to provide potency and well-being for the rest of his life.
A troubled conscience may force anyone to offend a dog. Indian man Selvakumar is not an exception. Once he killed a dog and hung its body on a tree. When he became 33, he repented and decided to marry a dog as atonement. His relatives found him a bride, dressed the dog in a red sari and married the couple in a Hindu ceremony.
There is a legend that sailors who fell overboard turn into dolphins. Such “a sailor” married 41-year-old British rock-concert producer Sharon Tendler. In 2005 she married Cindy, a 35-year-old dolphin, who lived in the Eilat dolphinarium in Israel. Cindy met his betrothed 15 years ago and since then he has seen her three times a year. The story ended with a wedding where the bride was wearing a white silk dress. After the marriage the wife dived into the water to her husband and whispered “I love you”. They spent their first conjugal night playing with a ball.
Unfortunately, the dolphin died in seven months and Sharon buried her beloved in the sea.
Practically at the same time when Cindy died an Indian woman from Orissa decided to marry a snake. Their relations started due to the illness of the would-be bride. According to her, she managed to convalesce because he fed the reptile with milk every day. At that time she fell in love with the cobra and married him in a Hindu ceremony before 2,000 guests to prove her love.
