Viral Temple Dog Under ICU Care
There's a dog named Bhairav who became famous because he kept walking in circles around idols in a temple.
People thought it was a special sign, but doctors say he's actually very sick.
He has low blood pressure, a slow heart rate, and is very dehydrated.
Now, he's getting special care in Noida to help him feel better.
Some people wanted to worship him, but animal lovers say he needs medical help, not prayers.
Doctors think his strange behavior is because he's not feeling well, not because of any magic.
Bhairav, a stray dog, went viral for circling temple idols in Uttar Pradesh.
Videos of his behavior sparked religious interpretations and large crowds.
Veterinarians diagnosed Bhairav with low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and extreme dehydration.
He is currently under ICU care at MaxPetZ veterinary facility in Noida.
