My parents are from Laos. Honest to G. She says it's medicinal and a sin. But rarely happens but now I believe since the trade passes their country to Vietnam the culture may have spread. In traditional stories of the founder of Mien Culture a dog guarded the caves to paradise Laos. So it's a sacred animal who signifies good fortune especially when a stray comes along to stay around.
