Nong Dam – Sponsor Update April 2017

Nong Dam is doing very well in Steel’s Run. The run has been expanded to accommodate more dogs. There have been plenty of volunteers to take all the dogs out at the same time. They first get a little bath before the walk. Their new route takes them down towards Ann’s Compound, then left through the elephant volunteer housing to the platform, then back through the field to their run. They sometimes get another needed hose down, and maybe a little spa treatment for those tender areas, then a nice long rest. Nong Dam is no spring chicken, so the walk can sometimes be a bit much for him. We once had to carry him (tag team, he is NOT the smallest dog in the pack) back on the last stretch from the platform. I think maybe he’s a sprinter; fast out of the run, then completely tired half way through.
