Delhi's 'Dahi Bhalli' and 'Mahakutteshwar' Vie for Fattest Dog Crown

Delhi residents have turned their attention to an unusual pet contest as two over‑fed dogs, known locally as Dahi Bhalli and Mahakutteshwar, battle for the unofficial title of the city’s fattest canine. The informal showdown, organized by a neighborhood pet‑lover group, pits the two dogs against each other in a light‑hearted display of indulgence.

Owners of the dogs, who have been feeding their pets high‑calorie diets, say the event is meant to be a fun community activity rather than a serious competition. Spectators gathered at the venue, cheering and taking photos as the dogs strutted their plump silhouettes.

While the contest has drawn smiles, animal‑welfare observers caution that excessive feeding can pose health risks for pets. The organizers have assured that veterinary checks will be conducted after the event to ensure the dogs’ well‑being.
