Strong Support for Nong Mali, Loyal Dog of Sergeant Min, Now Joining Military Animal Unit

A wave of strong support pours in. 'Nong Mali' the loyal dog 'Sergeant Min' the hero of Phu Ma Khuea, has entered the military animal unit and is preparing to train alongside senior service dogs.


FacebookThe Royal Thai Army Veterinary Departmentposted images with the message: "Dear parents, come welcome your daughter Mali into the embrace of the military animal unit. 'Mali' is the dog who first experienced human love on Phu Ma Khuea, given by Major General Ananda Udorn, known as Sergeant Min, the hero of Phu Ma Khuea. Their story of love and bond has touched many Thai people deeply."

Let's all warmly welcome Mali into the military animal unit and follow her through the kindergarten-level adjustment and training with senior service dogs. Stay tuned to see how this basic training unfolds and support Mali and her trainers together. Currently, Mali is under care and training at the Ya Lue base by the communications platoon of the Suranaree task force, Signal Battalion, Royal Thai Army Veterinary Department."


Since the post was shared, many people have commented, expressing sentiments such as: "Study well, Mali," "Mali is already a brave soldier's dog," "Keep fighting, Mali," "Train hard," "Your father must be proud of you," and "Looking forward to Mali's success."

Previously, Nong Mali was a dog that fled the war zone during the first battle and gave birth near Sergeant Min's shelter or bunker. Sergeant Min, or Corporal Ananda Udorn, took her in with love and affection, treating her like a child. He kept her close, taking her everywhere, even back to his hometown. After Sergeant Min died in combat during a clash on the Thai-Cambodian border at Phu Ma Khuea battlefield, Phoenix base, Kantharalak District, Sisaket Province, Mali remained a symbol of their bond.
