snoop1130 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Blade running Thai dog gets new lease of life BANGKOK (Reuters) - A Thai dog which had its legs hacked off for chewing a pair of shoes is running free again after being fitted with the type of blades used by paralympic runners. Cola's front legs were sliced off with a sword about a year ago by his owner's furious neighbour in Bangkok. The Soi Dog Foundation, an animal welfare group based on the resort island of Phuket, brought in a human surgeon to fit Cola with high tech carbon fibre racing blades, similar to those used by paralympic athletes. Now Cola is back running with the pack. Soi Dog Foundation founder John Dalley said Cola was even ready to trust humans again.

sweatalot Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I am not a friend of "take an eye for an eye" but in this case I would like to see an exception regarding that monster that did this to the poor dog Don't they have as special punishment in North Korea - executed by a pack of dogs?

Docno Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Would have been a good buddy to our old 'Chokdee', a dog my GF found injured by a car outside her home and nursed back to health a couple of years back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the neighbor a youth? In most places it would have been euthanasia...It's so confusing... Edited December 18, 2017 by jaywalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
