A WOMAN has revealed that she is planning to marry her dog following the death of her former husband, who was a cat.

    Dominique Lesbirel, 41, from Holland, married her pet cat Doerack eight years ago but sadly, the animal had to be put down after suffering kidney failure aged 19.

    Determined to move on, Dominique has revealed she now plans to marry her dog Travis.

    She explained that losing her cat was heartbreaking, “Putting Doerack to sleep was horrible, I’ve had him since he was 3, but I feel lucky to have had 16 lovely years with him.”

    Although Dominique is preparing for a new life with Travis she said that it is still a bit early for them to marry.

    “It sounds strange but I wouldn’t marry Travis just yet,” she said. “It’s still too soon after the death of Doerack.”

    But when she is ready to re-marry Dominique considers Travis the perfect match having already spent plenty of time getting to know each other.

    Despite plans for marital bliss, Travis isn’t the only love in Dominique’s life. She has a long-term partner Peter Knist, 43, but she said he is very supportive.

    She explained, “Peter’s supportive. He’s an animal lover, too, so he understands my desire to make a life-long commitment to a pet.” The upcoming ceremony will be done through Marryyourpet.com, a website Dominique set up in 2003.
