So, now it will wander around and die from hunger. I wonder how the Thai wander around starving animals oblivious to their condition? Pity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Presumably no cover on the well. So lucky it was only a dog and not a child playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 What's the bet the well will still be left uncovered for another animal or child to fall into. The term "preventative measures" seems to be totally unknown in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyt00 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Seems there are a lot of children, and animals falling in the uncovered wells. Is it so hard to cover a well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TumblinDice Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Well done. At least there is some humanity & compassion to save the dog. I'm sure many TV posters would have ignored its cries for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most temples host dogs and they will survive quite well. Irresponsible owners dumping them there (after lost interest on "new childs toy"). At the temple closest to us are about 10 dogs. Always big excitement when I walk my dog through the temple area. But none overly aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
