How can anyone not appreciate a dog. They will do anything for us. Even our Sri Lankan community dogs, though they are not trained like these dogs, they protect neighbourhoods from thieves, drug dealers etc.. There are many dogs currently helping to find the people who are buried under the rubble after the tragic earthquake in Thailand and Myanmar. Video credit - Jaojore on Tik Tok | Otara Gunewardene
