Bengaluru man buys world's most expensive 'wolfdog' for Rs 50 crore
Bengaluru: In an interesting display of luxury, a Bengaluru man has purchased the world’s most expensive wolfdog for a staggering Rs 50 crore ($5.7 million). The rare dog, named Cadabomb Okami, is a unique crossbreed between a wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd, and is believed to be the first of its kind.
Satish, a 51-year-old dog enthusiast, bought the 8-month-old pup in February. Satish, known for his collection of over 150 expensive dog breeds, revealed that the wolfdog was born in the United States and weighs around 75 kg, standing at a height of 30 inches, as reported by The Sun.
Satish, who also serves as the President of the Indian Dog Breeders Association, described the wolfdog as an extraordinary animal, saying, "He is an extremely rare breed of dog and looks exactly like a wolf. This breed has not been sold in the world before."
The dog has quickly become a sensation, with people flocking to take selfies and photos with the animal. Satish jokingly shared, "My dog and I get more attention than an actor at a movie screening, we both are crowd-pullers."
Satish, who has a penchant for owning unique dog breeds, stated that he bought the pup not only for his love of dogs but also to introduce such rare breeds to India.
He added that there is ample space for the dogs to roam freely, with a team of six people to care for them. Despite the city's relatively cool weather, the dogs are well looked after without the need for air conditioning.

SC refuses urgent hearing of plea challenging MCD notification on picking of stray dogs
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday refused urgent listing of a plea challenging a notification issued by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi with regard to picking up of stray dogs.
A bench of Justices J K Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi declined to accord urgent hearing after a lawyer mentioned that an application has been filed in this regard.
The application submitted that MCD issued the notification despite orders having been reserved by the apex court.
The whole problem of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR is because of "inaction" of local authorities, the top court had said on August 14 while reserving its order on the interim prayer seeking a stay on the August 11 directions passed by the apex court.
A three-judge bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and N V Anjaria had reserved its order in the matter.
A two-judge bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan had on August 11 directed authorities in Delhi-NCR to start picking up stray dogs from all localities "at the earliest" and relocate the animals to dog shelters.
The bench had directed the authorities to immediately create dog shelters and report to it about the creation of such infrastructure within eight weeks.
It had said stray dogs would be detained in shelters and not be released on streets, colonies or public places.
The apex court had passed a slew of directions on August 11 while hearing a suo motu case initiated on July 28 over stray dog bites leading to rabies, particularly among children, in the national capital.
