Tell me this isn't a tear jerker

[The Bigfella]

I'm in Sangkhla Buri... western edge of central Thailand... 10 miles from the border with Burma. On the way back from the border today, I had one of those, what the hell is that moments....



You have to be kidding me....



He wasn't clean, but for a dog around here, he was in reasonable condition.... and his owner was looking out for him






I say "him"... but I didn't really notice... and I can't tell from the thumbnails... but there's bound to be an opinion here.

Yep... that one got me in the throat.

nice to know someone cares...

Wow, that kinda changes my perception of how animals are perceived in that part of the world . . . thanks for posting it!

That old dog is a old service dog/expat from OZ on a decent pension, who enjoys the Thai culture, the open company of young females and like to foray around on two wheels.

Heard he posts from time to time on a adventure bikers forum.

best use for a golf bag cart that I have ever seen

Considering the culinary part of the world, that is inspiring.

OK... since you insist...

This is not a tear-jerker.

Hope that helps.

Poor little guy.

I was watching a crappy movie on TV the other day-same sort of set up. Such a crap movie i can't remember what it was called. Bit of a love story, not really a tear jerker though. Cripes though seriously, I see people in wheelchairs around here and i think really? Is it worth it? But a dawg? Give the guy a bullet please.

You're a hard man Phil... but I'll admit to the same thought. In fact I put down our family dog after it was cripplled, 20 years ago..... but this one seemed OK.

But hey what about the guy in the Olympics running on boards of some kind?

Would that be called "Meals on Wheels" in that neck of the woods?

I have problems with quality of life issues in cases like this. I am in the unfortunate position of playing God with my pets. I try to look at how they are dealing with their age and health issues. I always hold them in my arms when the needle goes in. I owe them that.

[Phil Y]

Ooops-not suggesting life isn't worth living for people in wheel chairs generally. But around here (Rural Papua New Guinea) they have it extremely hard. Unbelievably so. I honestly don't know how they do it-in fact i suspect they don't. The conditions would kill them pretty quickly.

Absolutely brilliant post, Mr. Hoppe.

Remember the Brontes.
