Bijnor Dog Circling Hanuman Idol: Not a Miracle, But Neurological Illness

• A stray dog in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, was observed continuously circling a Lord Hanuman idol, leading villagers to name it Bhairav.
• Animal activist Sandhya Rastogi and veterinarians revealed the dog's behavior was due to a neurological problem and severe weakness, not religious sentiment.
• The dog was rescued late at night from the temple after its condition worsened and permission was obtained for treatment.
• Currently, the dog is receiving treatment in Delhi under the care of 'House of Stray Animals' founder Sanjay Mahapatra.
• Investigations confirmed a neurological issue, possibly from an injury, and a tick-borne disease; the dog is now recovering well.

Why It Matters: The dog circling the Hanuman idol in Bijnor was suffering from a neurological illness, not a divine phenomenon.
