Street Smart Sukhumvit

I was ecstatic when I received a happy email from Laura, whose beloved dog Milly went missing in early March (read it HERE):

On Saturday evening I was watching my two older sons playing football at Bangkok Patana School and I had a call from a lady saying she was sure that her neighbour was feeding Milly outside of his gate.  This lady had seen Milly's poster at the vet's in Thonglor 10 (where Milly disappeared).  Needless to say,  I've had many calls before so I wasn't putting my hopes up too much.........

I was at soi 14 Pridi,  off 71 Sukhumvit in 15 minutes and meandered my way to some smaller sois............and there was Milly playing in the soi with another dog.  I got out of the car and called her name once.......she turned and crawled to me crying......and I did the same, silly me.....and got on all four and cuddled her.  The good Samaritan who had been feeding her is Khun Poom who wouldn't accept any money for having fed her for a month.

The incredible thing is that this small road is 200 m away from a bridge that crosses the klong and a moo baan that my husband often takes to go home after work to Moo Baan Panya.  It took me five minutes to go back to our home.  Milly was getting closer and closer to our home......would she have made it all the way to Panya?

Milly was ecstatic when she got out of the car.......she run in and out and rejoiced at meeting everyone at home.  It's as if she had never been gone..........she went missing on the 8th of March....

Thanks to my friends who walked the streets before daybreak with me......... those of you who drove around Bangkok looking out for Milly.........looking under bridges and markets....... walked your neighbourhoods........ and to those of you whom I have not met but you so kindly took an interest and called me or wrote to me encouraging e-mails.   Thank you all!

Happy with Milly,

Laura




*wipes sweat from brow* PHEUH~!! Despite being on the street for two months (and repeated declarations from the Cap that the pooch had probably ended up in some Korean soup), Milly has been safely reunited with Laura.

This is truly a Sukhumvit story with a HAPPY ending~!! (And I ain't remotely talking about massage~!! Heh heh~!!).


BARK BARK (translation: welcome home, Milly~!!)
