Switzer is getting married.
All 100 pounds of his loving Rottweiler dog self (right) to his longtime girlfriend who he met at the park -- the bark park at Carousel Park. His fiancee is Nana (left), a petite -- 50 pounds, OK not that petite -- Huskie/chow mix from the SPCA.
"He loves her," says Switzer's owner, Sharon Naylor, describing how the two love birds like to play and especially wrestle with each other.
And when the two exchange vows, I mean paws, at 4 p.m. Sept. 30 at the bark park, the local animal community will benefit. Naylor is working with all sorts of pet shops and shelters to make this into a real event. In lieu of gifts, the happy couple ask that donations be made to Faithful Friends, through which Switzer is a therapy dog, and the SPCA.
More details on the blessed event: Whiskazz and Pawzz in Hockessin is making the bridal gown. Happy Dog Healthy Dog in Trolley Square is making the wedding cake. Invitations are going out to the couple's favorite human friends and family. Someone will officiate, someone will sing, the couple will have a groomsman and a flower girl, and the happy pair will exchange matching collars and leads.
And, yes, Naylor says, there's even a prenup. Since Nana can't have children, she has agreed that Switzer could father pups with -- horrors! -- another female partner. Oh, that's what they call an open marriage.

Where's my invitation!!!!! I think this is the cutest thing I've ever heard of!!! Congratulations to the happy couple!!!! May they have many, many happy healthy, treat filled days together!!!!
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.
Dogs do not mate for life - it is not in their natural behavior. Why must we force our human traits on our pets instead of loving them for they are.
This is exactly why people misunderstand their pets and have problems with their behavior. They think they should act like humans instead of dogs.
Down with doggy marriage. Up with non-monogamous butt sniffing.
I think this a great idea.The point is to make contributions to the SPCA.Go for it!
Doesn't this paper have anything better to report other than something this stupid!!!!
This is great! With all the bad news saturating the media, this story brings a smile to the face of the reader. Please post pics after the big day.
Does this mean the wife dog will move in with her husband dog? Not sure how that pet owner will feel about that.
Absolutely adorable!!! Please, please, please donate to your local SPCA and Faithful Friends, they are both GREAT causes!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
I love this!!! What a great fundraiser for Faithful Friends and the SPCA! I'm marking it on my calendar. I'm going to be there! Hmmmm...do you have a photo of the bride? I think I may have to paint them a wedding photo album or something.
To those who had negative things to say....Get a life! This is a FUNDRAISER! If you want Serious news...go read the obituaries!

I'd totally volunteer my two dogs for Delaware's first Dog Civil Union.
