If you believe that you are better than other because you put a garland around the neck of a dog one day of the year, it means you are trying real hard to redeem your sin of how you treat them the rest of the year.

Fact: Dogs live eating human shit (literally shit) and garbage and are kicked around, run over by cars everyday in nepal. People in Pulsar bike will run over dog and they do not even flinch. Who cares, it is just a dog, that is the real truth of how we treat them. Almost every stray dog suffer from multiple diseases, broken limbs and sever traumas. They are neglected, beaten and butchered when these diseased dog wonder around the neighbor where heartless people live.

Fact: There are other culture that do NOT worship dog but treat them as a part of family, far better than Nepal. Yet they don't brag about how great they are.

So leave that pride of Dog puja to yourself. Regardless of what your belief says about dog (god,messenger of Yamraj etc etc etc), they are NOT (not at all) treated well in our culture. If only these dogs could speak....... Don't make a fun of yourself to the rest of the world by bragging on such non-sense.
