Dog is more Loyal to human than any other animals.
People take holy dips in rivers and ponds at sunrise on this day in observance of the Narak Chaturdashi. After taking the holy bath, devotees light what is known as the Yamadeep facing it southwards.This lamp is later released in the river and there is the belief that by doing this one would not have to go to the Narak or hell after death.Dog, which is said to have accompanied Dharmaraj Yudhisthir on his journey to heaven in the mythological grand epic Mahabharat, has a close relationship with mankind.
