PRIOR TO THE EVACUATION OF DOG ISLAND...
Soi Dog's John & Gill Dalley had to discuss the removal of the dogs from Dog Island with Colonel Bear of the Royal Thai Army. It was Soi Dog's decision but we needed the help of the army & their equipment to carry out the operation. Colonel Bear was very helpful & supplied 10 men 2 trucks & a boat. He also spoke to the local monks to make sure they understood what was happening & assure them their dogs will be returned when the water goes down.
