While visiting family in Tonga, we decided to come to the beach adjacent to this property and we brought our family dog. We had the great displeasure of interacting with the owners of this property whom own a large wolf-like dog (our dog is small, barely a foot tall). We were over 100 yards away from their property and their LOOSE dog ran all the way towards us and attacked our dog. The owners of this property proceeded to watch the interaction and didn’t immediately call their dog back. Absolutely NO sense of urgency. When their dog was done attacking my dog, it went back to them on their deck. And the man had the audacity to yell at us from the deck to not bring our dog to the beach instead of apologizing for his dog’s behavior. He didn’t even ask if the dog was okay.
Him and his wife’s demeanor reeked of entitlement and elistism. Tongan culture emphasizes respect a lot, even when undeserving. It seems to me that they may have expected us to be more docile to their abusive and disgusting behavior. But as Tongan-Americans, I hold businesses run by westerners in indigenous places to a high standard especially when their website states, “Since the resorts opened they have always employed the majority of their staff from the local village supporting the local community wherever possible.
