Armed Police officers work with police dogs at the Armed Police Dog Training School during dog worship day, as part of the Diwali festival, also known as Tihar Festival, in Kathmandu, Nepal, 06 November 2018. The Tihar festival is the second major festival for Nepalese Hindus and this year is held for five days, begining on 05 November 2018. During the festival people worship crows, considered to be messengers of human beings; cows, considered as incarnations of lord Laxmi (the god of wealth); and dogs, repaying the love towards man's “best friend”. A total of 12 dogs of the training school were worshipped, while a dog performance was also a part of the celebrations. (Photo by Narendra Shrestha/EPA/EFE)
