Kalasin:"Singha," the intelligent dog, has become an internet sensation, gathering over 7 million views in just four days. The dog's owner has received offers of tens of thousands of baht to purchase Singha but has declined to sell.
According to Thai News Agency, a Facebook user named "Khon Relon Phanechon Jonloh" uploaded the viral video, which features Singha, a 7-month-old Siberian Husky-mix, skillfully operating a tractor. The video, which includes humorous captions about teaching a dog to drive, was filmed at a cemetery in Wat Pa Kok Mai Daeng, Tambon Nuea, Amphoe Mueang, Kalasin Province. After its release on October 9th, it quickly amassed over 2 million views in two days.
The following day, another video was posted, gaining even more popularity. Together, both videos have accumulated over 7.8 million views. The owner, Mr. Suriya, known as "Jon Leh," expressed gratitude for the widespread attention and support. He enjoys creating humorous videos with moral lessons and adopted Singha after it was abandoned.
Jon Leh detailed that the dog was trained to drive a walking tractor safely, which was filmed in a deserted graveyard. With a strong bond with Singha, he refused to sell the dog, viewing it as a loyal companion. Any proceeds from the video will be donated to the temple where Jon Leh resides, and he assured that no animal cruelty was involved in the video's creation.
