 Description:   This is an actual size iron cast figure.  The dog, Ya-Lei, was very close to the heart of King Rama VI.  Ya-Lei was a hybrid dog born in the Nakhon Pathom prison.  King Rama VI found it when he inspected the prison.  Ye-Lei was very fortunate to have caught the eye of the King and was brought to the palace.  Ya-Lei was a very smart and loyal dog.  The King was very fond of Ya-Lei, so much so that Ya-Lei was envied, and was later shot by an envious person.  King Rama VI was much saddened when Ya-Le passed away and commanded that a copper statue of Ya-Lei be cast and placed on a pedestal in front of Phra Tamnak Chali Monkol-asna.  The King composed a poem for Ya-Lei that was inscribed below sculpture.
