I did this as a 10 year old but it was my neighbour's 140lbs black lab/rhodesian ridgeback mix.

There are so many dogs in Hanoi, it's wild.

I used to watch my friends irish wolfhound all the time.

We would harness up and he would pull me forever on a skateboard. Some of the best times I have ever had.

I hope they keep that dog on a leash. Tết is coming up soon and there’ll be lots of firecrackers going off. If a dog is found on the streets of VN, it’s gonna end up in the market or in a pot. If it’s lucky, it might land in another household. But considering that it’s a holiday… (Source: am Vietnamese)

What you said is true. I don't know why you got downvoted.

Most of the dog meat in Vietnam is stolen and illegal. The government can't ban this because there are too many people who just don't care and call it "unique culture," even though the majority of Vietnamese hate it. They even display the BBQ dog right on the street.

If you're from Vietnam, then you should raise awareness of this problem instead of hiding it.

I hope that stick she's holding is for the dog to hold later on, no to be hit with when it stops.

Memories of being accosted by language students looking to practice their skills on English speaking tourists in that area.

Went for coffee for an hour, they paid the bill, couldn’t work out what the scam was if any. I came away concluding that it they were just genuine people.

I used to do this with my beagle. And I had some nice ass roller skates and she was a very strong dog. We would get up to about 15 miles an hour according to the neighborhood speedometer.

And then one day, as I was coming out of the driveway, I tripped on a pebble and landed palm first. It snapped my entire forearm in half. They had to put me under with ketamine when I went to the hospital because I'm allergic to anesthesia.

So my first experience in a k-hole was when I was 14 years old and having my arm reset. Pretty sure the trip gave me PTSD, but it gave me an appreciation for psychedelics that I hold on to to this day.

So there is my labyrinthian story for today.

Exactly the same. My better half was adamant that we do it, I was convinced we were going to end up losing our kidneys. Having said that, while it was a perfectly pleasant time, we did keep our heads down every time we went through that area again.

It is unknown how much of the dog meat in restaurants are stolen or thievery. No one has done any research about it. Sure, we have dog farms (yes, we do, it surprises me too), but how much percentage nation-wide and how much restaurant-specific the meat is from a far is... unknown.

I want to do this. But i live on a dirt and stone road. And roller blades are always so low on my priority list. Would be a great way to get him exercise though. He's such a big energetic boy.

Lmao, my dad had a collie when I was born, he always says that Chasco (the dog's name) loved playing with me and once day my dad had this idea of attaching a a small pulling cart to the dog, fella then went on giving me rides around the backyard. Dad always said he was the most caring dog of all. Too bad he was almost 8 yo when I was born and die around 11 yo.
