UK woman marries her dog on live TV, but no one’s impressed

“It was like we were meant to meet. He’s saved me and I’ve saved him. I was broken before I got him. I got a dog behaviourist when I first got him and she said he’d saved me,” she said.

She then spoke of her plan to get married to Logan, but what unfurled next on the show – packed with dog puns and jokes – didn’t impress too many.

The “blessing” was officiated by TV crew members, and the bizarre ceremony also saw one of them play ring bearer. One of the hosts walked the bride down the aisle. After an exchange of rings and a bracelet, came the vows and then a kiss between the woman and dog.

While some dog lovers thought they could also consider spending their lives with their pets, they didn’t think it was very sensible or funny to actually marry a dog.

Some said the woman was being unfairly mocked when she seemed to be in need of medical help. But a lot of criticism was reserved for the television channel as people felt it had “stooped to a new low” just to get views.

Ok but its a GOLDEN RETRIEVER id marry it too 😂 https://t.co/pYdosLNYX0

Bestiality is now allowed in the west

I think this is bizarre, grotesque and I feel sad for the poor animal who does not seem to be enjoying this entire situation.
But, none of my business.

You’ve reached a whole new low. I’m absolutely disgusted that you regard your viewers with such contempt that you think this is is acceptable to broadcast. It’s cringe worthy. Shame on This Morning and all involved in this x

Ok… was this some weird attempt at humor? I feel bad for the dog. 👀 pic.twitter.com/3KDtH4cjGX

I honestly don’t find the woman marrying her dog on public television one bit funny, it’s actually sad and the fact that it’s broadcast live makes it 10x worse #thismorning

Either that was a terrible joke, like genuinely one of the worst attempts at humour I’ve ever seen…

Or, @thismorning are exploiting mental health issues, from a show that has done so much to promote & help the cause.

Not to mention making a mockery of marriage.#thismorning

While the wedding was unique, it wasn’t the first time that a  woman has married her dog. Earlier this year, a woman in the US had a symbolic marriage with her dog, Bernie. But the ‘wedding’ was also intended for fundraising and to draw attention to organ-donor groups and local animal welfare shelters that lacked proper funding.
