Cambodia 05

Beside getting to know people in Cambodia, I managed to remember the names of the 3 dogs that were guarding CCOP. Haha! Fantastic dogs. So lovely and each has its own characters. They are called Marko (light brown), Buddy (Blackish) and Milo (dark brown).

Marko is an old dog. Can see its aged body lines. But he is the loviest dog among the 3. It will stroll to me and sit beside me, yearning for me to stroke and pat it. And without fail, I will entertain its wishes and it will reciprocrate with a happy and comfortable look. However, it was the timidiest of all. When there's a commotion or raining, it will scramble to a hiding place.

Buddy is a pretty active dog. It is curious and will always follow Milo. Whenever something happen or Milo reacts to an incident, Buddy will follow suit. There was this incident when after Milo had killed a rat, Buddy came and tried to nibble at the dead rat. So funny. And let me warn you first, Buddy don't like pple to stroke or pat its head. It will retaliate with a gentle attempt to bite at your hand.

Milo is the obvious lead dog. It is alert, fast and gives no nonsense. When there's a commotion, it will be the first dog to investigate. It is also responsible. It was raining one afternoon and it spotted a rat. Without much consideration, it leaped an attack on the rat. And the rat had not much chance. So the rat was killed and even while floating on the water, Milo continued to inject its fatal bite at the rat. Wow! Vicious! Haha! However, it is still a very friendy dog.

I really miss them, especially Marko. So nice for Marko to come to me and let me stroke it. So sweet. Let's hope Marko will be strong and able to live longer. I do want to see it when I return to Cambodia on the next trip.
