Stray Dog Moo Daeng Touches Hearts with Heartbreaking Devotion to Late Owner

A stray dog named Moo Daeng (meaning “roasted pork”) has captured the hearts of Thai social media users after being spotted loyally waiting for its deceased owner outside a 7-Eleven in downtown Korat. Dubbed the “Hachi of Korat,” Moo Daeng’s unwavering devotion has drawn comparisons to Hachikō, the legendary Japanese dog known for his lifelong loyalty.

The story went viral after the Facebook page Korat the City You Can Build shared images originally posted by Mari-Mo Photography. The touching photos show Moo Daeng lying outside the store with a red blanket and a sign from the shop owner reading:
“Thank you all customers for your kindness, but Moo Daeng cannot eat liver or drink milk. Please help it live long.”

Moo Daeng’s owner, a homeless man known locally as a hermit, passed away in November last year. The pair shared a life of mutual care, with the man begging for food to share with his loyal canine companion. Since his passing, Moo Daeng has remained outside the 7-Eleven near Grandma Mo Market, seemingly waiting for his return.

Moved by the dog’s loyalty, 7-Eleven staff have stepped in to care for Moo Daeng, providing food and shelter during cold nights. However, the images of Moo Daeng have sparked an outpouring of concern from netizens, many urging someone to adopt the dog to ensure it receives proper care and attention.

As Moo Daeng’s story spreads, it highlights the profound bond between humans and their animal companions, as well as the compassion of the local community. Many are hopeful that a loving home will soon be found for this steadfast and heartbroken dog.
