This dog stole the show as the 'best man' at his owner's wedding


When it came time to choose a best man for his wedding, Chris McCarron decided to go with man's best friend.
McCarron rescued Jack, a Rottweiler, from a Scottish shelter, following the death of his son. McCarron actually met his new wife, Margaret Allison, while walking Jack, and knew he wanted the dog by his side on their big day. Video of the nuptials show that Jack stole the show, sneezing during the vows, staring intently at McCarron throughout the event, and even pawing at him as he signed the marriage license. Just about the only thing Jack didn't do was object.
Jack wore a bow tie to the wedding and spent the reception going from guest to guest, receiving head pats and lots of treats. "He was a star, he posed for all the pictures," Allison told SWNS. McCarron, Allison, and Jack are all adjusting well to married life, and McCarron is grateful to Jack for the role he played in it all. "I don't believe that I rescued Jack," he said. "I think he rescued me." Catherine Garcia
