"There is an entire day during a festival in Nepal dedicated solely to thanking dogs for their loyalty and friendship. The time itself is called “Diwali” celebrated by Hindus, and is a ‘festival of lights’ celebrated by millions every year in the fall, in India, Nepal and elsewhere.
Specific to Nepal, there is a day during this celebration dedicated to all the dogs, called Kukur Tihar, specifically to thank our four-legged companions for always being our loyal friends."
