Man Offers Dog As Best Man For Gay Weddings

An eccentric man in the UK is offering his rich and famous gay dog Jasper to act as a "best man" at same-sex weddings.

"He is the perfect best man", Benjamin Slade said of his cross-bred canine. "He will not be making any embarrassing speeches, he hoovers up all the leftover food and he is castrated".

Jasper, a black cross between a Labrador and a Doberman, has already been in the news for inheriting a hefty sum from Slade's ex-mother-in-law and has been dubbed the country's richest hound.

Slade, who has been trying to drum up business for weddings at his 13th century estate, decided that Jasper could be a particular attraction to the gay community since the government legalised same-sex civil unions last year.

"He is a bit gay", Sir Benjamin said. "He would act as the perfect best man in what is a gay-friendly house".

"Whatever they want, he is there for them. Maybe he will be better as a bridesmaid".
