We were lucky to be in Kathmandu on Buddha's birthday. The celebration and ceremonies were beautiful

Years later I was able to buy an ancient Dorge at an antique store in Red Fort, Delhi, India; brought there by a priest in exile from Tibet.
Pictured below
One can feel the energy when holding this ancient piece in original well used condition.

THE BEST DOG who ever lived!
THE BEST DOG who ever lived!
An exageration, likely because we were so bonded
and he was so protective to the point he would, I know, give his life for me.
After all I saved his life in Bali, Indonesia and shipped him home and he ALWAYS was up for a challenge given by man or beast stupid enough to think his sweet nature was the full depth of his potential. The scars on his face, while in Bali at 8 months old, were only on his head and nowhere behind his head. Hmm except when he kept proposing to my Akita,...both were neutered but he never gave up on the Akita whose manner of saying "no" was not soft...and she was so much larger than my sweet "Tiga" (Indonesian for "three".)...BTW the eye patch was only for the photograph...the leg was damaged in Bali when we found him about dead.
He would only seriously warn my then young son, whose leg is seen behind him, and never bite him when my son got in his face. I miss this once in a life time dog.

There is a shift lever on the left of the tank.
If I remember correctly these old road warriors, transformed and demeaned into public transportation, contributed heavily to the smog in Delhi and were thus eventually outlawed, banned. No longer to be seen when I looked for them in the very late 1990s.
