With tails wagging to a chorus of barks and yelps, more than two dozen dogs attached to wheels that support their disabled hind legs scramble along a rocky path, taking their daily exercise https://reut.rs/3oTjDcx  by @Athit_P 1/6

Mostly victims of accidents, the 27 dogs are being nursed back to health at a shelter in Thailand’s province of Chonburi southeast of the capital, Bangkok 2/6

The shelter, run by a foundation called The Man That Rescues Dogs, was set up by a Swede who moved to Chonburi in 2002 and was so dismayed by the poor condition of strays that he started caring for them after work 3/6

The shelter spends more than $1,300 each day to care for more than 600 dogs and feed 350 more that live on the streets. But its future is now in doubt, after the pandemic led to a 40% drop in donations and slashed the number of foreign visitors 4/6

Thailand, estimated to have more than 800,000 stray cats and dogs in 2017, could see their number reach 2 million by 2027 and 5 million in 20 years unless it takes some steps to control numbers, livestock authorities say https://reut.rs/3oTjDcx  5/6
