At the $600m wedding to end all weddings, of Anant Ambani – the son of Asia’s richest man – and Radhika Merchant, a very good boy was pictured looking bored. The family dog, Happy, perhaps didn’t realise how lucky he was to be a guest at the celebrations in Mumbai last weekend. But even in the presence of Priyanka Chopra, a few Kardashians, a clutch of Bollywood stars, and Tony and Cherie Blair, the golden retriever still gave the impression there were places he would rather be.
Happy is not the only pooch in the spotlight recently. His nonchalant hobnobbing came hot on the paws of the rescue terrier-poodle Brisket, who appeared on the red carpet at the premiere of Twisters in LA last week, the ward of the film’s lead actor, Glen Powell. At the weekend, Sir Pippin of Beanfield – or Pip to his friends – attended the Wimbledon finals. Belonging to actor Glenn Close, the Havanese did well to not chase the tennis ball around Centre Court.
