The Dasara pet show in Mysuru drew a record-breaking turnout on October 6, with over 480 dogs representing 45 breeds. Organized by Star Of Mysore, the event featured not only dogs but also a few other pets, including cats. Among the highlights was “Gopi,” a pet Golden Retriever owned by author and Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murthy. Gopi, the star of Ms. Murthy's series of three books, charmed the audience, with many attendees taking photos with him and the book.


While speaking at the event, Ms. Murthy emphasized the importance of treating pets like family members, highlighting how events like these foster a love for animals, especially among children. She also stressed the need to care for injured and sick animals on the streets.




The show displayed a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, Dobermanns, Siberian Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, Saint Bernards, Rottweilers, Great Danes, Labradors, Poodles, and Irish Setters. This year’s show featured nearly double the breeds of last year, with 33 foreign breeds and 12 Indian breeds.


Judges evaluated the dogs on various criteria, while visitors gained insights on pet care and learned about adopting a more compassionate approach towards animals. Prizes were awarded, and the event helped to raise awareness about responsible pet ownership and care.
