Ummm... what? Yeah.

A little boy (under 2 years of age) who is part of the Munda tribe in Indiana was married to a neighbor's dog to stop him from being killed by wild animals. Apparently the boy grew a tooth on his upper gum which the Munda tribe sees as a bad omen, thinking it makes the young children prone to attachs by tigers and other wild animals. 

The boy's father, Sanarumala Munda, said "We performed the marriage because it will overcome any curse that might fall on the child as well on us."

Ok. Whatever. Indian laws do not recognize marriages between people and animals, so the boy will still be able to take a woman as his bride later in life. And he doesn't even have to divorce the dog to do it! Yay! Wonder what kind of dog it is...
