Thong Daeng (meaning "Copper" or "Red Gold") was a beloved dog owned by King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. Born as a stray, she was adopted by the King in 1998 and became a symbol of loyalty, humility, and obedience. Thong Daeng was widely admired for her devotion to the King, and her story was told in a best-selling book written by the King himself. Her legacy inspired the animated movie Khun Thong Daeng: The Inspirations (2015) and led to the creation of statues and memorials in her honor across Thailand. Thong Daeng remains one of the most famous dogs in Thai history.
