Cool Pet ~

When young, I was always given the idea that cold blooded animals is impossible to train and keep as an obedient household pet. How wrong I am ...
In Thailand, there was this hawker, selling coffee and tea on a mobile cart, actually kept a croc as pet. You might say that is no big deal ... unless you know how this croc is taken care and live with him.
This is not a small croc. It is around 3-4 metres long and weight ... I forgot, but it is damn huge.
This croc does not live in a caged compound. It was treated just like anyone keeping a pet dog or kitten. This croc sleeps on a mattress with a pillow, next to the owner. Every morning, the owner has to wake him up and brushes its teeth. Then this croc will tailed the owner around the house, just like a dog, waiting for breakfast to be served. After breakfast (both owner and the croc), the croc will follow behind the owner, as he moves around to prepare for his daily business. While the owner is serving the customers, this croc will just stay quiet/motionless near the serving area. Around 3pm, the owner will pack up and move the mobile cart and the croc , proceed for their daily swim near a river. The croc was swimming with and around the owner, and at times diving down and disappeared in the river... until the owner signals that the swimming session is over. Then you see the unwilling croc, start swimming towards the land, and towards the owner who is lying under a tree.
After the swimming session, upon arriving home, the croc will move to a washing bay and waits for the owner to wash it up with clean water. Then dinner is served. After dinner, while the family is watching TV, again, the croc will lie obediently by the owner's side, till the croc is sleepy. The croc will then move away slowly and make its way back to its bed ... This freaking croc even knows what a pillow is for !!!
I am not writing any fiction ... This is just shown by a Thai program that looks for unusual stuffs, that are real !!!
This croc really makes the cats and dogs weep~
