The 23rd of March marks a national holiday in Pakistan, “Pakistan Day.” This day approaches spring and the inhabitants of the Pakistani countryside use this day to celebrate the renewing of the soil.
One of the most important moments of this day is the final fight of the dogs. Dog fighting only take place during the temperate season in order to preserve the health of the animals. The festivities attract thousands of people from the countryside as well tribal folk from each of the four main provinces of Pakistan. For the dog owners, it is an excellent opportunity to prove their talent and win considerable amounts of money.
