Tibetans treat dogs with fancy dinner to celebrate Gongbo New Year

Villagers from Nyingchi City, Tibet Autonomous Region, treated dogs with a fancy dinner while celebrating the Gongbo New Year by the Tibetan calendar, which falled on Nov. 24 this year.

If the dog eats Tso (an offering made of traditional Tibetan staple food Tsampa) in the wooden tray, it indicates a good harvest in the following year. If the dog prefers ghee or milk dregs, it heralds profitable animal husbandry in the year to come.
