A father went to the media for help in obtaining justice after his nine year old son was savagely attacked by three Rottweiler dogs in Korat.

 

The breed is described online as "good-natured" but a US club warns that they can become destructive and out of control if not properly trained, notes ASEAN NOW.

Tawatchai Anuwet, 45, from Khun Thong sub-district in Bua Yai district, Nakhon Ratchasima said that the owner of the dogs had reneged on an agreement to pay him 1.3 million baht. 

 

His son went fishing with friends at 7 am on January 22nd. 

 

Three dogs had got out of a chicken farm and attacked him about 300 meters from the farm.

 

He had horrific wounds to his head, arms, legs, body,  ears, neck and was covered in blood.

He also had a ruptured lung meaning that he had to be transferred from Bua Yai hospital to Maharat Nakhon Rathasima Hospital where he spent 10 days in ICU. 

 

Since then he has had to endure 12 surgeries and has more work to be done on his arm on April 11th. 

 

After a report was filed with the Bua Yai police the father asked for 3 million baht which was bargained down to an agreed 1.3 million baht.

 

But since the agreement was made the dogs' owner has said he is only prepared to pay 200,000 baht and said he is prepared to go to prison if pressed for more.

 

He told the father to sue him in court, reported INN.

Wikipedia describes the Rottweiler breed as "steady, self-assured, devoted, fearless, good-natured, alert, obedient, confident, calm and courageous".

 

The American Rottweiler Club states:

 

"For us, the Rottweilers are the best breed in the world, but we firmly believe they are not a dog for everyone. Rottweilers require a calm, stable and firm "pack leader" or they will assume that role for you. Puppies AND adults need socialization, exercise and stimulating mental challenges. With these things, you will have a wonderful companion"

 

But the club adds ominiously:

 

"Without (these things) your Rottweiler may become destructive and out of control".
