Around two decades ago, King Bhumibol had a pet dog named Wanorn that was reputed to be fierce. When the king went for exercise either at Klai Kangwon Palace or Chitralada Villa,he would run for three kilometers followed by his servants and also Wanorn. While HM the King ran far, the followers got exhausted and couldn't keep up with him. However,they couldn't stop since Wanorn was behind waiting to nip their calves. After the death of Wanorn, the king didn't adopt a new dog for several years.
