An Excellent Example Set By A King

I recently purchased this book on a trip to Thailand, which is a country overrun by dogs. However, it is also a country in which the people who live there do everything they can to provide the best care they can for their animals. While the general status may not be up to the standard of care we enjoy in Western countries, it is an enviable effort- I wish more americans would try so hard.. This book tells the story of a stray dog adopted and raised by the king, and encourages others of his countrymen to consider doing the same rather than buying a purebred- again, something I wish more americans would do. It is a story of kindness and respect, and a wonderful read for any animal-lover.

Unusual insights into a king's predilictions

When one reads about kings and presidents, it usually concerns official business. You expect to hear standard biographical data, educational and vocational matters, and government involvement. Not in this book. By way of an adopted stray dog, we learn about the lesser-known side of Thailand's king. Monarchy can be a fascinating topic; there are apparently some nations that do quite nicely without the help of democracy. Here, it is possible we can gain insight into a king's methods by considering his interaction with dogs.
