Thai media reported that a four year old boy was attacked on Klong Haeng beach, Ao Nang, by a pack of stray dogs. 

 

Little Attachai was with his mum and siblings enjoying a morning out on the sands.

 

Two dogs - park of a pack of four - went for him. As he tried to run off they seriously injured his legs.

They even attempted to drag him off before help arrived in the shape of a hotel gardener who assisted the mother.

The boy was taken to hospital. 

 

Rescue staff said it was the first attack in the area this year after a foreign boy was attacked last year.

 

Victims of dog attacks are usually children, they said.

 

Calls for the local authority to act were also made.

seems tourist might be better locked in an ASQ hotel after all, either that or get mauled by wild packs of dogs on a beach

Agree entirely, catch every last one of the damn filthy pests, then a bullet in the head.

Hope the mother and gardener did not yell at the dogs, or made kicking moves, because then they could end up in jail for animal cruelty.

Let’s not over react..

 

rescued by gardner....I guess family allowed him to wander off w/o supervision or not paying attention to surroundings?

 

another brake failure?

Many kids think that every dog is docile, same as their mutt at home.

And nothing was learned...

absolutely agree. They need culling to zero. That poor boy is lucky he wasn't killed if dragged away ...

Time to Call Soi Dog Foundation! I am quite sure the poor doggies have been completely traumatised by this terrible incident and perhaps need some councelling, extra food and quality dog care time... It's a crazy world we live in...

you're totally over. You and some others are beyond sarcasm. Yes, those strays should be taken away. And those who attacked people should be culled immidiately. The owner (or past owner) has to be found and made to pay and be punished. And after there are no more strays left - every new stray should be arrested and the owner found and let him pay for the food and have a heavy punishment

Do any of you guys live in thailand? Soi dogs are part of the culture especially in beach areas drawing local tourists..

 

why are dogs drawn to such areas? I wonder if it hadn’t anything to do with poor food management of beach goers leaving food, bones, food wrappings and general garbage behind after a day at the beach....if they kept their beaches free from garbage and litter with proper containerized spring action bins vs open piles of garbage, it would have far less scavengers to those areas...

 

dogs will be around far longer than humans in these types of areas if push comes to shove...

 

the culture does not condemn feeding soi dogs...it will get rid of foreign tourists b/f getting rid of soi dogs...oh wait

Fight fire with fire, we have a very well behaved group of dogs in our soi, they know us all and react violently and protectively if any strange dogs appear. They also seem to get on well with the local feral cat population.

Times are hard, people need money.

For one month, introduce a bounty of 400b per dog corpse delivered to municipal dumps all over Thailand. Human ingenuity, and people working together, will solve this problem.

Those who wish to give dogs a home before the month commences should be free to do so, but must commit not to abandon them once the novelty wears off.
