Thai king's favourite dog Tongdaeng dies

Look at the bit in bold

Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej's favourite dog, Tongdaeng, who became a national celebrity, has died at the age of 17.

The king adopted Tongdaeng in 1998 as a puppy and wrote a book praising her loyalty and obedience.

Last month, a man was charged with insulting Tongdaeng on social media and could face up to 37 years in jail under Thailand's lese-majeste laws.

The strict laws protect the king and his family against defamation.

Couldn't get the link to come up. However I see it as just about right - I would give at least that sentence to anyone who had the audacity to insult one of Her Majesty's corgis.
