These two mongrels were found in Koh Tao – Thailand trying to fish for their lunch. Although many people think fish is bad for dogs some experts reckon that fish is one of the best foods you can give them. It’s great for their skin and coat, joints and muscles and it’s brain food. If you give it to puppies it can actually make them easier to train. The picture was taken by Juliana Velez in April 2011.

Mongrel in Vientiane-Lao
This lovely dog was found in Luang Prabang – Lao. According to his owners he is a mix between Labrador Retriever and mongrel. Although he is not pure he keeps one of the main characteristics of this breed, his webbed paws for swimming which are useful for the breed’s original purpose of retrieving fishing nets. This and their subsequent use as hunting companions, gave them the name retriever. This breed of dog is very loving, kind, loyal and compassionate to their master.
