Amitabh Bachchan's pet dog Shanouk

No story of Bollywood is ever complete without the start with Amitabh Bachchan. The legendery actor is not just fond of Hindi Cinema but also has a Piranha Great Dane dog named Shanouk. Piranha Great Dane dogs are usually larger in size than their other counterparts and when Shanouk stands up on his two feet, it is almost as tall as Amitabh Bachchan. While Piranha Great Dane dogs are so huge in size they are very simple and not someone to be much scared of.

Big B is so fond of Shanouk that he recently did a photoshoot with it announcing from his Twitter handle @SrBachchan: "T 598 - Did photo shoot with Shanouk my Piranha Great Dane for cover of a magazine on dogs by the ebullient Farzana Contractor, wife of BusyBee!!”

Amitabh Bachchan then posted few pictures of him holding Shanouk and tweeted “T 598 -That picture is of Shanouk, my Piranna Dane .. Shanouk - a warm gentle breeze on a cold winter morning ..,” and “T 599 -If you liked the pictures of Shanouk my pet dog, more can be put in later .. Want ?”.

Amitabh Bachchan also revealed that Shanouk had been feeling a little neglected since the birth of his grand-daughter Aaradhya and this photo shoot allowed him to let Shanouk feel special.

Bollywood and Dogs!

Dogs have always been more favourite of Bollywood (both moviemakers and stars) as compared to other animals. While dogs have been instrumental for movies like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Kaalia, Golmaal 3 and Teri Meharbaniyan, they have also been used in dialogues of superstar Dharmendra like - "Kutton Main Tumhara Khoon Pee Jaoonga" and "Basanti, In Kutton Ke Saamne Mat Nachna".
