For better or for woofs

There are few more precious things in this world than the sweet sanctity of marriage and now it seems the dreams of walking down the aisle extends beyond the human species.

Around 40 dogs in the Peruvian capital of Lima have tied the knot in a mass canine wedding ceremony. Wearing white wedding frocks and black tuxedos, the furry pets yapped their vows while their undoubtedly barking mad owners watched on with tears in their eyes.

The district of San Miguel even went as far as to issue wedding certificates to the owners which featured the paw prints of the happy couples. Engraved matching collars, a buffet of meat chunks covered in gelatine and a dance to Baha Men’s appropriately named hit single ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’ all followed.

The video below from Sky News captured the magical moment, with some of the pooches seemingly (and understandably) overwhelmed by the gravity of the commitment they had just made.
