Dog’s ‘pawsitive’ intuition: Abandoned newborn found in black bag thanks to heroic pet

[snoop1130]

 

A newborn girl, hastily packed into a black bag and dumped near a wall, was saved just in time, thanks to a family pet, a dog named Pong, whose unusual growling led the family to the infant. This bizarre event took place today opposite the Nong Khai Police Station.

 

In the Hin Ngom sub-district of Muaeng Nong Khai district, Nong Khai the incident unfolded in front of the house of 55 year old local Phu Wiang. The woman heard Pong’s distinct cries and wondered what the commotion was. Phu Wiang, along with her husband and child, decided to investigate.

 

The black bag that their dog was barking at was lying against their house wall, but they were shocked when they opened it and found a feeble newborn girl crying.

 

They immediately alerted Sub Lieutenant Sommat Kunlanet, a deputy investigative chief at the Nong Khai town police station, who also happened to live opposite their house.
