Thai Princess Adopts Dog Mourning Deceased Owner

Moo Daeng, a dog that gained viral fame for waiting outside a 7-Eleven in Thailand for its deceased owner, has been adopted by Princess Siribha Chudabhorn. The dog, nicknamed the 'Hachiko of Korat', has touched many hearts since its owner, a homeless man, passed away in November 2024. After learning about Moo Daeng's plight and mental health struggles, the princess decided to adopt the dog to prevent further emotional damage. She expressed her commitment to care for Moo Daeng as if it were her own child, empathizing with its severe depression due to the loss of its owner. The local community had previously rallied to support Moo Daeng, providing food, blankets, and medical help. Now living with the princess in Chiang Mai, Moo Daeng's story continues to raise awareness about animal mental health.
