I know of a restaurant in Vietnam that would happily take "Giant" in.

Won't have to go that far. Sakon Nakhon is well known for it's appetite for canine cuisine.

Anyone who thinks the dog "apologized" to the corpse is off their rocker. He was never punished for the mauling he did to his previous owner so in his mind, he didn't do anything wrong (and wouldn't have a clue what an "apology" is anyways).

And it's obvious that the new owner doesn't trust him all that much either as evidenced by the steel muzzle he's using on the dog.

If so, why did he accept to adopt the dog ? to have it all the time muzzled ? really, I don't understand this guy ; why to have an animal if it's always to  keep it muzzled  ? 

it killed one time, why not other times ? nobody told it  it's not good, they even made a ceremony ...

I heard he got a 500bt fine.

What's next? Community service? 

No, that’s it - all forgiven and the wife now looks after him - not even jail time required. I guess this is the way to go if you don’t like someone here

He took part in a ceremony called "khor khama" in which he apologized to the corpse. 

Dog at temple apologizing to corpse ? Sorry, but this really does show how backwards Thailand is on occasion.

First, the new owner wants some fame.

Next, the new owner will be in the news again of an attack, let's hope this coming attack will not cause another life ????

I'm happy that the dog is given a second chance, instead of putting it down. Hopefully a new owner can control that dog better. 

 

And I don't get how people here can be this low talking trash about ceremony for deceased. It is for a victim, not the dog.

[anfh]

I notice new owner has him muzzled - clearly does not fully trust him !!

Lets wait and see what happens when they remove the muzzle —- TBC !

No, transfer to an inactive kennel

This is sad for the dog, the dead owner must have teased the dog a little too much. But now the dog will fined it easier to kill his next owner. Sad to say he should be put down.

Read the title ; 

"pitbull taken to the temple to apologize "

second chance ? the dog is  not even conscious it has killed somebody, don't think of it as an human being , it's a dog, it thinks like a dog

You say you are happy the killer dog is given a second chance... Pathetic, the dogs a killer will never change.

You would not be so happy if it killed a member of your family.

Oh come on... shoot the dog! This dog has shown itself to be violent and has attacked which led to a death. Pits can be sweet family pets. But that is not what they were breed to be. Folks, that fact is something we just have to come to terms with. It is like a having a Tiger cub as a pet and then finding it so strange that when it grew up and was <deleted> off or scared it attacked and killed. In North America and in the EU a dog attack that leads to a death, would require the animal being put down humanly.

 

It is sorry state of events and I am sorry for their family's loss. 

[crickets]

Needs to be put down.

Yes, so are  people who organised the ceremony : the only thing to was to euthanize this dog

I like dogs, but not dangerous dogs

Did the dog understood what was the ceremony organised for ? I doubt ...????

No doubt there was a money collection. For the dog.

There is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners.

Really? For the victim? No way.... it was about the dog and how noble and caring and apologetic it was for the death it caused.  Second chance? You kill someone and see if you get one.... well... maybe after 20 years with good behavior they might let you out.

'Hopefully a new owner can control that dog better'

 

And if not they can always have another funeral.

Perhaps the dog was originally trained by an undertaker.

There is an argument there. But throwing it back to "Karma" is a paying no attention to the fact that that breed of dog was bred for a specific purpose... good owner or bad... the genetic makeup of the animal was set irregardless of the owner's 

[jacko45k]

I suspect he would behave better if they removed the two large items resting on the carpet behind 'Giant'! Don't see those on the killer Yorkies!

no need for a muzzle now, the beast has made merit and has become a loving family pet

It's hard to decide which is the most stupid; the new owner, the dog or the rug!

This dog breed does not need to be teased, viciousness is inherent in them and they are bred specifically for it, that is why many responsible countries have banned them.

one can only hope that the new owner does NOT have young children nearby but I fear that we have not heard the last of this killer dog
