‘Pentor’ dogged by furry fame
“Pentor” the TV sitcom will live on in the form of numerous pets that have been named after the show’s main characters, Pentor and Porjai.
There are, most famously, two five-year-old Maltese dogs by those names at the Chaipak Dog Training School run by Wanchai Chaipak and his wife Nawaporn.

And just like in the series, Pentor takes care of his little sister. They do an act in the Chaipak Dog Show that tours the malls, in which Pentor pushes Porjai around in a shopping trolley.
If you catch the pair in action, feel free to take photos, but they decline to sign pawtographs.

He said that every day, though, so Vicky didn’t immediately catch his drift. “You make me so happy,” Chai persevered. “Will you marry me?”
Vicky briefly raised the “Are you sure?” flag, but
