Englishman Bitten By Local Dog

On the 17th of February at 3.20am Dongtan Police were informed that a foreigner was bitten by a dog and his arm was bleeding and the victim was at Pattaya Home Decor Office on Thepprasit Road.

Police arrived to find Mr. James Spear, aged 52 from England sitting in front of the office. He had been bitten on the arm rupturing a blood vessel. He was quickly sent to Banglamung Hospital.

Police questioned the owner of the dog and he said his dog was normally good as gold and that his dog had never bitten anybody before. He also stated he keeps his dog chained next to his office where he and his wife live.

Before the incident occurred he was asleep. However he was awakened by the sounds of his barking dog coupled with the crying of a man shouting out in pain and requesting help.

Mr. Spear told Police that he had been enjoying himself in Pattaya. He had simply tried to say hello to the dog and the dog not understanding English had gone for him.

Mr. Spear accepted that it was probably his own fault and agreed to pay for all medical treatment and jokingly offered English lessons for the dog.

Same happened to me once. There used to be a stray who slept outside our condo in BKK, the guards used water pistols if he got to close. The dog was quite well kept and always seemed docile. One night strolling into the condo at about 1:00 am I reached out to pet the dog whose response was to attack me quite viciously. No serious wounds but I had to go to the hospital for a tetanus injection, not sure if the dog went to the vet for a shot against any disease he could have caught from me.

My fault of course, stay away from strays no matter how docile they appear.

Hmnnnn...Got a knock back from a Dog...

Hmnnnn...Got a knock back from a Dog...

I know that feeling.

You know what they say about mad dogs and Englishmen..... or is it dogs and mad Englishmen?

<deleted> would anyone touch a dog that wasn't your own? complete madness

You know what they say about mad dogs and Englishmen..... or is it dogs and mad Englishmen?

dam dogs and mad englishmen

Dogs are unpredictable. Last year I reached out to pet a friends dog who I had petted dozens of times before. He bit me hard on the hand. It was not serious but could have been.

Remindse of the Story..

Guy says,"Does you Dog Bite"?.

The other guys says, "No"..

1st guy goes to pat the Dog it bites the Begesus out of him

He says, "I thought you said that your dog doesn't bite" ?

"Not My dog"! the second guy says..

reckon that was a Goons routine and Peter Sellars was the guy who says "not my dog" was done in french accent from memory

The dog didn't understand English.....................

The dog didn't understand English.....................

Assimil for dogs?

Diplomacy - the art of saying "nice doggy" while looking for a big stick.
