Dawa

I’ve just finished reading a fantastic local book called ‘Dawa: the story of a (stray) dog in Bhutan.’ It’s another book that Amazon is lacking, but it’s worth the read if you can find it. As well as having some fun observations about the characters of stray dogs, the author shares some cultural insights on the local people in towns and villages from the perspective of an intelligent dog. And you don’t have to look hard to find social commentary on the impact of progress with people’s less than Buddhist attitudes and the pollution appearing in the rivers. A cute story with a lot to say.
