The PQRA mourns the passing of Mr. Wayne Capriotti
August 7, 2016
​
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Wayne Capriotti, a member of our advisory panel, who died last night in his home in Saigon, Vietnam. Wayne was a Canadian who visited Vietnam and decided to stay because he fell in love with a wonderful Vietnamese woman, her beautiful homeland and its magical canine breeds, which included the Phu Quoc dogs. He welcomed everyone interested in the Phu Quoc dogs and provided guidance freely without judgement or criticism. He pushed for the better treatment of animals in Vietnam, pioneering the first and only pet magazine (Mê Thú CÆ°ng) in the country. His passion were animals and he worked relentlessly and passionately to further their interests and welfare. Wayne was an inspiration to many and will be greatly missed. The PQRA sends our deepest sympathy and condolences to his family and friends.
