Police apologize for dog wedding

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Sri Lankan police apologized Tuesday for holding a group wedding ceremony for sniffer dogs after the country’s culture minister condemned the event and demanded an investigation.
Nine pairs of police dogs dressed in shawls, hats and socks were placed on a decorated platform like those used in traditional weddings in the ceremony Monday in the central town of Kandy.
Their marriages were registered by an official in the presence of a crowd of veterinary surgeons, medical doctors, top police officers and the public.
Local television showed the dog couples later being driven away in a decorated police jeep for their “honeymoons.” More
