It is moments like these that make the work we do all worth while.

After a short stay at the Care for Dogs shelter, receiving regular medication and care for his Canine Pyoderma condition, eradication of a severe infestation of tape worm, along with meals twice a day and a dry place to sleep, he was ready to return to his home at Wat Pha Gee, to meet his friends and fellow pack members in the grounds there.

Tdik has a very short tail. It’s about 10cm long. It is just about long enough to give some signals but often due to it being so short, he feels he should use his ears in conjunction with his tail, along with the whites of his eyes and occasional panic urination.

After being greeted by the other 4 dogs at the temple, Tdik felt he needed a bit of space to express his relief at returning home. First he tried it under the car, then in a flower bed and finally under a table.

His Dad looks quite proud of his son, don’t you think?
