THAI DOG
Thai film, CITIZEN DOG, which has been kept off international screens for a long time now, is finally getting a June 12th release in France.
In a not-unrelated bit of news, Thailand now has a radio station for dogs. Anupan Boonchuen runs a dog grooming school and he's started Dog Radio Thailand to offer pop music that will soothe and relax dogs. In the near future, DJs will also talk to their canine audience.
The DJs will, "...talk to the dogs in Thai and the canine listener will be encouraged to respond. At 9AM we may have a dog greeting show in which we'll repeat 'sawasdee' (hello) over and over...If we say 'sawasdee' in some houses the dog may lift both paws in response. In some houses the dog may lift one paw. It depends on how the dog was trained. If we play a slow song, we may have the DJ howl... because dogs howl too, when they hear sad songs."
How do I get a job here?

Well you don't have to go all the way to Thailand to talk to the animals Grady (unless of course you want to):
