A male dog trapped between heavy high-voltage utility poles was successfully rescued in Pong Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, thanks to the efforts of rescue volunteers, municipal officers, and concerned locals.

 

The incident occurred at 21:05 on November 23. The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Centre in Pattaya received a distress call from local residents reporting that a dog was stuck in a crevice within a pile of old high-voltage poles on an open field near Nong Hiang Soi, Pong Subdistrict. Rescue volunteers and officers from the Nong Prue Municipality quickly rushed to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, they found a distressed two-year-old male dog trapped between the large, heavy poles, each weighing several hundred kilograms. The dog appeared exhausted and gave pleading looks to onlookers, stirring great sympathy among the gathered crowd. Initial attempts by the rescue team to pull the dog free proved unsuccessful due to the weight of the poles.

 

The team then coordinated with the Nong Prue Municipality to bring in a crane to lift and move the massive poles. After a careful and coordinated effort, they successfully freed the dog, which was unharmed.

 

Ms. Sukanya Ngernpiam, 42, a local resident, explained that she and other concerned individuals saw a social media post about the trapped dog and hurried to the scene. Upon confirmation of the situation, they immediately contacted rescue services and municipal officers for assistance.

 

Following the rescue, Ms. Sukanya offered to temporarily care for the dog at her home while waiting for a kind-hearted person to adopt it and provide a permanent home.

There you go, if you like to take a walk and might fall into a manhole or ditch, take a dog with you. It seems they will pull out  all the stops to rescue the dog, and you too, maybe!
