I know you're proud. And congrats to her cousin for winning best of breed. I noticed on one of the shirts you got her that it said "we are friends, not food". Is there a movement in Thailand to discourage people from eating dogs? How widespread is the custom?

There are only small group of people in Thailand who eat dogs. So, we try to discourage those people from eating dogs. It's sad when I see news that there are middlemen came to the poor's houses buying dogs from them and kill those dogs. This custom is spreaded in some provinces that near the border of Thailand. Some dogs are smuggled and exported to neighboring countries.
