In answer to several questions The mass evacuation involved even more dogs than we thought as others had found small crops of exposed land. Some only a few feet across. Others swim from outcrop to outcrop. WFFT estimate around 250. We could not count them all when rescuing.
The old lady feeds them all going around in a boat. We know by the time night fell there were a handful we could not catch, but the old lady will continue to feed these. She has asked to visit her dogs in Cha Am next saturday...

Rama is a survivor of the Bangkok Flood Disaster.
Soi Dog volunteers returning from a rescue mission to Dog Island happened to spot Rama in the traffic. She was terrified, dragging her back legs & seconds away from being killed by a passing car.
Given Rama's age and medical condition Soi Dog decided to fly Rama to Phuket as she's an old dog (approx 11 years old) who's had a very hard life. She was severely malnourished, suffering eye & skin infections, anemia, arthiritis & was so weak she co...

This rescue took place in an area called Chaeng Wattana, a suburb just north of Bangkok. We entered a large flooded area with vegitation down one side which was in 1 meter (3+ feet) of water. On the edge of this area were floating reeds & rubbish with dogs running around on top of it, as we approached several puppies appeared.

Dog Island Dogs To Be Moved To WFFT Shelter - November 18, 2011
19th Nov 2011, by Soi Dog Foundation
Bangkok Floods – Dogs on Dog Island
Following the negative testing for distemper of the sick dogs removed from the bridge at Dog Island, the decision has been made to remove all the dogs and transfer them to the WFFT shelter outside of Bangkok. A few may remain as too dangerous to dart in those conditions. Dogs could get into the water and drown. But they would be fed and the risk of disease would be much less.
WFFT as usual will provide the trucks, boats and build the additional required sh...
