I don't think i'll ever forget that picture! Looking forward to go to Hua Hin in a week - and i really hope that it's not MANY dogs living the way Vito did. You're a fantastic person, Dawn - i only wish that God left more people like you, and me, on earth. We need Animal Cops in Thailand as well - that's 4 sure! What a fantastic(and tragic) story……

I've never had the space they need or the time to spend with them. However, I grew up with father and son golden labradors. The father had to be put down due to arthritis at age 13 and his son carried on until about the same age. They were my mother's dogs and I'll never forget the telephone call that I received at university - "Jimbo's gone". The vet and kennel owner had made that decision whilst my parents were away on holiday. It cut my mother up no end. She hadn't been there to say "yes". So, Dawn, whilst I have no dogs and don't work with them every day as you do, I can appreciate what you went through with Vito - just a little bit. I’ve never owned a dog.
