The Buddha is a big softy, and because he frowns upon killing them, stray dogs are a nuisance in Thailand. They hang around every Soi, or street, cheerfully knocking over rubbish bins, fornicating, chasing motorcyclist, and occasionally catching them.
If that’s not enough reason to buy a pistol, street dogs are not much to look at either. Nothing like going out for a game of tennis and spying an emaciated, mange ridden street dog that has a tail that looks like an old wrinkly sausage and a single tuft of filthy hair limping about a sand pile littered with feces.
The learning curve to life as a street dog is fairly simple. If you’re a dumb street dog, you’ve already been hit by a car and are stone dead. If you are a street dog of average intelligence, you have already been hit by a car, but perhaps you’ve survived to enjoy a life of limping around feebly on the brink of starvation. If you are a street dog of high intelligence you may look like this.
Fat and happy, sleeping outside of a 7/11, you have even convinced someone to put your make up on for you…

http://futurismic.com/?s=stray+dogs Story about smart stray dogs.
ReplyDeleteI remember eating Lag Na at paintball restaurant. The fat mangey patron of the place gave himself a good shake and sprayed pussblood all over place from a open sore in his rump. Ah, remembering the good times.
Soi dogs do get a rough deal in Thailand and I was once told the reason why....but I'm not sure how true it is.
ReplyDeleteSomeone explained to me that the dogs were people who had been bad in their previous lives and as is with the Buddhist belief they were reborn because of their ill deeds as a lower being. Hence how badly the dogs get treated.
Nice ohoto.
