“Ornate Mange” Photograph

This dog could be admiring the marbled flooring or perhaps bowing in respect to Buddha at this temple in Bangkok but most likely it’s just suffering from the effects of heat and mange. As I have said before, pet dogs abandoned at temples may appear to have an easy life but in reality they face hard times on a poor diet in often crowded conditions that mean disease is rife.
