Let Sleeping Dogs Lie......
On almost every street in Thailand there are Soi dogs. Soi is the Thai word for street and they usually gather around the nearest 7/11,laying by the door to catch a blast of chilled air when the door opens and people walk in and out.
The dogs are generally friendly, and apart from scrounging,often get food brought by some animal loving local, usually cold rice.
Despite few problems with aggression, the dogs are often unhealthy, breed like crazy and there is always the risk of rabies so they are a problem. When its cooler at night they become more lively, usually and sometimes chase scooters and they seem to hate bicycles.
I always sit and stroke the local dogs last thing at night when I go out for my 20 minutes peace and quiet with a coffee, but really, before they become an even bigger problem, there needs to be a huge round up and sterilisation program.
This will of course not stop the many people who buy cute puppies, dress them up, take selfies and then just dump them. These people need sterilising more than the dogs!
maybe this dog will become more docile and useful if they are not alienated and there are those who adopt it.
They are quite docile, and its like the community take care of them for food, but no vets or sterilisation or anything like that. They keep breeding, people take the cute puppies and they end up being dumped elsewhere. Its all very sad really.
it is very sad ,,, unless there is a policy from the government or from the surrounding environment to make a shelter for this dog to be nurtured and cared for.
In Old England, the word "hound" was used to refer to all types of dogs.
It still is often used to describe any type of dog. Not very bright afe you, dogfacts ?
