At the monastery, you are able to spot a dog or pup around every corner. Most are very friendly and adorable (one tried stealing my tea!), It’s very tempting to bring a few or at least one home. We asked the monks why there are so many roaming free and they told us the villagers in the camps outside of the monastery will have dogs that eventually have many puppies, but their owners cannot take care of so many pups. Their solution then is to drive up to the monastery and drop off a box of puppies and drive off because they know the monks will not kill them and will feed them.
