Kukur Puja 

The second day of Tihar is called ‘Kukur (Dog) Tihar’.  On this day, people worship the best friend of human, dog; which mythologically is referred to as agent of Yama (God of Death) and incarnation of Lord Bhairav. Dogs are worshipped by putting on marigold garland and offering their favorite food. This day in modern times also celebrates and honors the friendship and love between a pet and its owner.
