Amid the sea of mourners, the dogs named Iko, Rambo, Maya, and Diya were carried into the stadium by family members and close associates. Each dog was gently brought to the glass casket where Garg’s body lay draped in a traditional Assamese ‘gamosa’. The crowd fell silent as the pets gazed at their master one last time, their presence adding a deeply emotional layer to the farewell.

Zubeen Garg was known for his profound love for animals, often feeding strays and even naming them. His bond with his dogs was well-known, and their appearance at the stadium was a testament to the deep connection they shared.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared a video of the dogs’ farewell. ‘It is often said that dogs are a man’s best friend and if dogs love you, you are a great man- well, for Iko, Diya, Rambo & Maya, Zubeen was their family and today as they bid a final farewell, they must have felt the same emotions which we are feeling now- Heartbroken,’ read his tweet.

Zubeen will be cremated today

As the state prepares for Garg’s cremation with full honours on Tuesday, the image of his loyal companions bidding him goodbye serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring bonds between humans and their pets.
