Jigme, the Pokhara monastery dog





Jigme: the gentle dog



Mustangi dogs have the reputation of being dangerous. But our Jigme is not.





Only our Jigme is not.

He never has been.

Once, a few years ago, a neighbor beat him heavily on the back. Nobody knows why, maybe he was drunk. And broke Jigme whips.

So now, poor Jigme can barely walk.

Jigme is NOT vegetarian! He dislikes rice. All he wants is meat, which meat doesn’t matter. But meat.

If you give him some meat with rice, he will spread the rice all around to get ONLY the meat.

We know that’s naughty, but we all love him. And when he does that, we just laugh!

He lives sharing his time between us and Ama-Dolma.

Ama-Dolma lives close to us she is part of the SunCave family.

Jigme came immediately to welcome kids when they arrived. Then he went back to ama-Dolma, to his quiet life.
