There are tons of stray dogs everywhere in Isaan. These dogs reproduce, making more and more dogs.
Most rural people cannot afford dog food, which is very expensive here, so these dogs are left to fend for themselves and find anything they can to eat.
I ran across this mother dog this morning with a bunch of new puppies.
The new puppies will be condemned to living on the side of the road scrounging for food.
It is so sad, however, there are just so many dogs you cannot help them all.
Most people here would be happy if you took one home and cared for it, so they didn’t have to.
