Dogs declare their love on Facebook

LAJPAT NAGAR: Facebook is going to the dogs, well not literally. Ludhianavis aren't the only ones updating their status and photos on it -- their pets too are busy connecting.
Well here's what a post on the wall of one of the pets reads: "Hello darling whre r u? iv been waiting for u since morning... n hws ur bro... bruno... luv u tc...'' these are the words of Tyson, a rottweiler.Steffy Bordeaux writes, "luv u too shone bas... aaj subah se jassi papa ne kaam lagaya hua hai... mai apko sham ko milti hu....''
To this Bruno Pitbul writes, "Tysonnnnnn....!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrr bow bow bow boooowwwww booooowwww sudhar jaaaaaa.'' Now one does not need to be an Einstein to understand that it's a love triangle. Sounds ludicrous? Well no, having pet profiles on social networking sites is the latest fad these days.
8-month-old Steffy Bordeaux and 10-month-old Bruno Pitbull is owned by Jassi Kandhal, whereas 5-month-old Tyson Rottweiler is owned by Yogesh Mahajan. These pet owners, who are neighbours, say they love to talk about their dogs and hence the idea of opening a Facebook account for them, as silly as it sounds, is a great idea - it has a feel-good factor. Besides, they add that they noticed the love between their dogs and thought that declaring it on Facebook is the right thing to do. Resident of Lajpat Nagar, Jassi said, "I have two dogs, a dogue de bordeaux named Steffy Bordeaux and a pitbull named Bruno Pitbull. For the past few months I have been noticing that my friend Yogesh's dog Tyson Rottweiler is attracted to Steffy and is very fond of her. So me and my friend Yogesh decided to declare their love in the dog community on Facebook.''
His neighbour, Yogesh said, "I've been noticing the three pets together - their body language, attitude and likes-dislikes. I don't understand their language but can surely make out their body language. And this is exactly what I post on Facebook.'' He adds, "I've noticed that when Tyson comes near Steffy, Bruno gets annoyed and protects Steffy. It's a love story where Tyson plays the villain!'' And what's a love story without the world knowing about it? "If you love someone declare it - and this is exactly what we are doing for our pets. It might sound foolish but we want to share the big chapter in their lives with the world,'' adds Yogesh, who makes it a point to update status of his pet's page regularly.
Their friend Gaurav Babbar said, "I'm planning to buy a dog soon and excited about creating his profile on Facebook. Sure, I agree the idea is slightly ridiculous but I love animals and believe that they too have a right to connect with other and express their feelings.''
