Popular Post webfact Posted August 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2018 Prayut assigns Interior Minister to rescue abandoned dog By The Nation Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha A dog abandoned on a Bangkok road island was rescued and sent to Rayong after it was spotted by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on his way to Government House on Tuesday. Interior Minister General Anupong Paochinda confirmed Wednesday that officials had located and rescued the dog and had it taken to the Rayong Dog Lovers Club to be placed in a foster home. While on his way to attend the weekly Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Prayut was apparently touched by a dog lying on the road island and took a clip of it with his smartphone. He mentioned the animal during the Cabinet meeting and forwarded his clip to Anupong. A source from the Cabinet meeting said Prayut was overwhelmed by his pity for the dog, leading him to repeatedly broach the topic during the meeting. Picture: Daily News “I’ve seen it lying there for several days,” the PM General reportedly said before forwarding his clip to Anupong via the Line app. “I felt sorry for it. It’s black and white and pretty. We should raise it. Please help take care of it.” Anupong on Wednesday said he dispatched officials to rescue the dog after receiving the clip. Prayut complained that the dog’s owner was mean to abandon it on the road island, he added. Neither the PM, nor the Interior Minister specified exactly where the dog was found, leaving some to wonder if the rescued animal was the same one as Prayut had seen. As of press time, members of the Rayong Dog Lovers Club had posted to their Facebook page that they were checking to see who had adopted the dog.

This was despite the fact the newspaper was black and white, and read all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick a dog that's growling at you and you'll face a stiff fine for assault, but if the same mutt bites you (without provocation I add), the most it faces is a free rabies shot and an hour 's detention for attitude adjustment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 He is a good looking dog. Smart too, he knows where to stay to avoid being bothered. Had the grumpy general showed the same sort of kindness to due process and participatory government in 2014, Thailand would be a better place. At least, it is a better place for one stray dog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
