Stray Dog Keeps Bringing Gifts To A Woman That Fed Him And His Mother To...



Meet Tua Plu, a stray doggie who knows a thing or two about good manners and always brings a little gift to the woman who feeds him. A video of Tua Plu the dog, whose name translates to “winged bean,” making his daily exchange has spread across the web and melted netizens’ hearts.

“When he’s hungry, he will offer something to get fed,” Thailand-based Orawan Kaewla-iat, a lady who gives food to homeless dogs, wrote on Facebook. “Every day he shows up with an object in his mouth — usually a leaf and sometimes a piece of paper. Before you feed other dogs, you have to feed Tua Plu and his mom.”

The pooch knows that this kind of behaviour is more endearing that just going straight to the rice bowls offered to the strays. Orawan, who lives at the housing for the City Police, said that she’s worried no one will feed Tua Plu because she will be moving out of the residence soon.

Orawan’s post with a little video of the polite doggie in action went viral and gained admirers all around the world, with people enquiring how they could adopt Tua Plu. Hopefully, soon Tua Plu and his mom will find a loving forever home – someone who will be a very lucky owner and can expect to be showered with gifts every single day.

Adventurers adopt stray dog who refused to leave them during 430-mile endurance race



Published on 23 Mar 2015

A stray dog adopted by adventurers on a 430-mile South America endurance mission has arrived at his new home. Arthur joined Mikael Lindnord's Team Peak Performance on an extreme trek around Ecuador as part of the Adventure Racing World Championship last November. The group fed the stray a meatball and from then on he refused to leave their side.

Arthur joined the team in huge hikes, mountain climbs and energy-sapping mud treks as the arduous trail took the group through the Andes, the Pacific and the Amazon rainforest.

He also took part in a 36 mile kayak ride - even after the group had tried to set off without him. Instead, Arthur dove into the water and started frantically paddling, forcing Lindnord to drag him into the boat, reports the Daily Mail.

Now, unable to face the prospect of life without his trusted companion, Lindnord has adopted the dog in his native Sweden.

After being forced to spend four months in quarantine for health reasons, Arthur has finally been given the all clear to start his new life.

Lindnord told MailOnline: "He is really happy to be with us. When we came to pick him up he jumped around, gave us kisses on the mouth and lay down so we could scratch his stomach. He has been greeting everyone he has met during the day.

'We have been waiting for this day for so long and now he is here. Its a big day for our family and an even better day for Arthur.

"It is his first day as a free dog with a family who loves him."

He named the dog Arthur after the legend of King Arthur, as he described him as "calm, almost noble".

Lindnord plans to treat Arthur like part of the family, with his own bed and food - a world away from his life as a stray.

He said: "He is a fighter like me who never gives up. I could really see that in the jungle when he just kept following us."
