BOMBAY, Sep 3 (AFP) - A Hindu cult near Bombay is worshipping a
pet dog as the "reincarnation" of a holy man who died many years
ago, a newspaper said Wednesday.
The Asian Age said a two-year-old white Pomeranian, named "Sai"
after the holy man, was the object of worship at Panvel town.
On Thursdays, devotees gather for "blessings" from Sai, who is
fitted out with saffron cloth.
The Age said the dog worship had its roots in a legend,
according to which Sai Baba, the Hindu holy man, appeared before his
devotees in the form of a dog in order to test them.
Sai, the dog, sleeps in an air-conditioned room. His teeth are
brushed once in five days with a special, soft bristle-brush and
toothpaste imported from London.
Twice a week he is bathed with soap and an assortment of 22
shampoos also brought from London. There are special towels for his
use.
The dog is fed imported vegetable "bones," butter and chocolates
from a silver bowl, the Age said.
