What made the invite stand out was the addressee. Instead of naming the pet’s owners, the card was addressed directly to their dog, Chicory.

The text over the invitation in Kannada translated to English read as: “Mrs./Mr. Ms. Chicory and Family. With sweet bonds of friendship and affection in every word, let us all come together as one at the wedding home.”

Sharing the moment online, the woman captioned the post: “The vet sent his daughter's wedding invitation addressed to our dog. Love it”.

Internet finds it ‘pawsome’

One user wrote, “That is such a beautiful name for a dog,” while another simply commented, “That's so sweet.” A third person shared a similar experience, saying, “My vet had invited my pet for inauguration of vet clinic. Pet was immobile and could not be left alone. Special room to keep my pet.”

Others could not help but admire the thoughtfulness behind the act. “Such a sweet gesture. It’s pawsome,” one comment read, cleverly playing on words. Another added, “Haha, cute :) Only dog parents can understand!” Yet another user summed up the sentiment by writing, “So loyal to his profession.”
