BANGKOK – A large pack of soi dogs who call themselves the “Furry Shirts” have gathered by a vacant lot near Victory Monument. 

After ending their political neutrality and declaring themselves no longer “below politics” last year, the Furry Shirts have generally show themselves sympathetic to the Red Shirts. Sources suggest they were annoyed by the appearance of their nemesis “Thongdaeng” on the front pages of papers earlier this week. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’s own dog, a Golden Labrador named “Oxford” has previously warned the Furry Shirts not to “drag Thongdaeng into politics”. 

The military has responded to this latest movement of Furry Shirts by ordering Chinese-manufactured dog whistles worth 5 billion baht.
