webfact Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Buriram: Savage dog attack leaves three year old girl dead Picture: Daily News A grandfather described the terrifying moment when he found his three year old granddaughter in the jaws of a savage dog in the village. He wrenched little Tenggwa from the mouth of the female dog and rushed her to hospital. But it was too late - she had been severely bitten in her neck and head. Now villagers and police in the hamlet in Khok Khamin sub-district of Plap Plachai district have sealed off the area to try and capture the four year old dog who is called "Nang Jingjork". Maa jingjork is the Thai word for a fox, but the dog responsible for the attack is a mixed Bang Kaew, a Thai breed. The alleged owner of the dog has refused to accept responsibility and has claimed it is a stray. A tearful Phinit, 50, told Daily News that he and his wife cared for their granddaughter after her parents split up and her mother went to work in Bangkok. The three year old was tagging along behind her grandmother as she went to get water for some buffaloes in a field. But Tenggwa - displaying the innocence and characteristics of a small child - wandered off. The grandmother called Phinit to go looking for her. He got on his motorcycle and drove around the village only to see in horror that the dog was tossing his granddaughter from side to side like a ragdoll. It had the little girl's neck and head in its mouth. He said he rushed her to hospital but it was too late. He reported the matter to Plap Plachai police and together with villagers they went looking for the dog. He said that the owner of the dog denied any responsibility saying that the dog was not theirs.

Popular Post canuckamuck Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 We usually have about 2-3 dogs that are not ours. But we have had some bad ones that received village justice. The two living here are assumed to be ours though, Mother in law brought them here as pups. I have nothing to do with them other than scratch their heads, as a good person does. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dcsw53 Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 Tragic incident, my sincere condolences to the family. I hope there is a proper investigation into the ownership of the dog. Sounds like the gentleman in the spotlight is mounting a Thai defence ( running away from responsibility and hiding ). The family deserve and need closure. 15 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long past time something was done about all the soi dogs here, sadly all we ever get is talk, but no action. 26 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Matzzon Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Heartbreaking! It´s time something gets done about the dog problems in Thailand. There are only 3 things to do: Demand, backed by law, that owner take care of their dogs and keep them controlled inside their fences. Apply tax and insurance on all dog owner, which will take away the ones that do not care and make the ones that pay care more. Consider all dogs that does not apply to point 1 and 2 as stray, and put them out of their misery. (To all dog lovers, do not bother. I am the owner of 2 dogs that I love and care for.)

Popular Post jesimps Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 Send in the men with blowpipes like they do on my local golf course sometimes. Any dog not on a lead without a collar is poison darted. I'd like to see the authorities declare open season on the stray dogs here, also any with owners but not restrained. Maybe start putting them on the menu at local cafes. That Bang Kaew is a particularly nasty breed and one guaranteed to give me problems when walking or riding my bike. Hate the nasty little goits. Another thing that gets me in my small community is why do people think it compulsory to keep more than one dog. The house next door (Thai) has nine of the noisy beggars. Another (farang) has six and never corrals them. RIP this poor baby girl, hope the mutt responsible is quickly despatched. 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lives in the garden, Barks at strangers, moves on soi dogs, who run past her area, except lead dog who visits once a day, they greet each other and moves on. And howls a warning on snakes, and attacks them if they hang about. But, I agree any dog that attacks people is swiftly dispatched, own or not! The other dogs ain't stupid and become aware of what will happen if they do, otherwise they do a great service in keeping vermin both 2 legged and 4 legged versions out of the area. Mind you our village doesn't have many simple folk living in it! Finally if our dog ever bit/attacked a person to cause injury, We would have her put down.

P Funk Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Instead of buying the latest Ferrari, maybe a few of Thailand’s better heeled could start a fund to pay for spaying and neutering the stray dogs. That is true Taam Boon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingOrders Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 This is a very sad story. I feel for the girls family. Here in Bangkok something on my mind as of late is that dogs seem to be getting larger and look like mixed breed pits. Wild dogs like this, becoming territorial, and essentially all wild, is going to make stories like this more common. Anyone else notice this phenomenon or is it my imagination?

Perhaps if Thais took took more responsibility for the stray dog population, like not dumping unwanted puppies and sterilizing dogs, incidents like this would not occur. Don't blame the dogs - blame the attitude of Thai people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post weaver93 Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 Unfortunately.. this was a tragedy waiting to happen.The majority of people let their untrained dogs roam loose, and so unfortunately its a recipe for disaster... This will continue ,because attitudes will never change here.. I live in a gated community, but... it makes no difference.... 'Owners' turf their dogs out early morning, and they dont care,that people are scared of these dogs, roaming sois unsupervised... People who feed soi dogs, make the situation much worse, as these dogs sleep outside their property, IF they care for these dogs, at least feed them inside their gated property..and keep them there.. RIP to the little girl... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
