Siam Rath reported on a story of a former successful boxer down on his luck - yet drunk - selling a puppy outside a Udon, NE Thailand, convenience store.

 

There had been a post on social media on a dog lovers' site saying that the puppy - a white and black Thai breed - was yelping so much because its leash was half strangling it.

 

This tugged at the heartstrings of locals and one - Jaruwan, 48  who already has 30 dogs - went to buy it.

 

She offered 300 baht but the seller wanted 500 and that is what they settled on.

Robert, 55, said he was a former boxer who never lost. But he turned to drink and became homeless.

 

He got two dogs from an old lady for 300 baht each and had already sold one. He wanted to make a profit of 200 baht, he said admitting that he was worse the wear for drink.

 

Siam Rath reported on the case that played out near Rajabhat uni in Udon calling it a "sut satheun jai" - most touching - story.

and this was because Bobby boy deliberately made it so tight as to yelp so he could get the attention of possible puppy lovers for a sale and profit to buy more p_ss.

 

Not a very .. most touching story at all   '   more like a scam artist.
