Safe and sound: A Thai officer playing with a dog at a shelter for pets whose owners fled homes following clashes between Thai and Cambodian soldiers, in Surin province.
As residents along the country’s border with Cambodia fled the ongoing fighting, many tried to take their animals with them. For those who were unable to do so, livestock officials stepped in to help.
The country’s Livestock Department asked its local offices to provide a safe space for animals whose owners have had to evacuate, and the offices in several border provinces announced they were ready to do so.
