A unique trend is currently sweeping across social media. Amidst the election season in the capital, Delhi, a delightful and heartwarming kind of “election fever” has taken hold. You might be surprised to learn that instead of politicians and rallies, 64 chubby, adorable dogs are the ones contesting an election here.
There is a race on the internet to win the title of the “city’s fattest and cutest dog.” What makes this special is that it isn’t just an ordinary dog show; it is a fun digital electoral contest that has created a buzz across the web.
The Race For The “Fattest Dog” Title
The contest is as entertaining as its name suggests. It has been dubbed “Fat Dogs of Delhi.” Furthermore, a dedicated Instagram page has been created under this name, serving as a fun platform for the city’s beloved pets and adorable street dogs.
Where Did This Competition Come From?
This competition is actually inspired by the famous “Fat Bear Week” held in Alaska, USA, where people vote to select the fattest bear. Following that model, this online dog show kicked off in Delhi on September 24, featuring 64 dogs from the Delhi-NCR region. People have entered dogs from their neighborhoods into the race by submitting cute photos, names, and other details.
The Finale Takes Place On September 29
This canine contest is nothing short of a TV reality show. Voting polls open daily on Instagram between 2 PM and 3 PM and remain active for the next 24 hours. Each round features a neck-and-neck battle between two dogs. Social media users vote for their favorite chubby, adorable dogs. The dog receiving the most votes advances to the next round, while the other is eliminated. The competition’s final round is scheduled for September 29.
Quirky Names Of Internet-Famous Dogs
The most entertaining aspect of this contest is the quirky names given to these dogs. Entries include names like ‘Kutta Singh’ from Rohini, ‘Mahakutteshwar’ from Noida, ‘Chonku’ from Kamla Nagar, and ‘Bhondu ki Barfi’ from Lajpat Nagar names guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone’s face. The enthusiasm is such that people across all social media platforms are not only voting for their own favorites but also encouraging others to do the same.
