East Pattaya is resonating with community spirit today after a perilous live dog rescue. The canine reportedly got wedged between two enormous concrete power poles in Pong Sub-district's Soi Ban Nong Hiang region on Saturday, November 23rd.

 

Members of the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Centre received the distress call and raced against time to the dog's aid. On reaching the sight, the rescue team found an already formed crowd of concerned local residents surrounding the captive two-year-old male dog.

 

Visibly fatigued, the poor animal could not get himself free from the overwhelming high-voltage power poles trapping him. Initial attempts at a manual rescue were in vain, forcing the team to step up their rescue efforts.

 

Nongprue municipality staff then made the pivotal decision to deploy a crane from their heavy-duty fleet. Expertly operated, it managed to shift one of the enormous poles, relieving the distressed dog of his concrete bonds.

 

 

Sukanya Ngernpiem, among the first to arrive, saw the dog's predicament on a viral social media post. Her swift intervention alongside others in alerting the rescue team undeniably played a crucial role in the positive outcome.

 

The Sawang Boriboon team immediately ferried the dog to safety following his daring rescue. He is currently cared for in a local shelter while finding him a suitable adoption family is underway.

 

This daring dog rescue highlights the extraordinary extents ordinary people and communities will go to help distressed animals. We remain hopeful our brave canine friend will soon find his forever home, surrounded by a family that loves him dearly.

None with an idea on what to do.

Knowing what to do to move large concrete power poles is knowing that normal people power will not be enough and that heavier equipment will be required.

 

Hence 

 

quote "Nongprue municipality staff then made the pivotal decision to deploy a crane from their heavy-duty fleet. Expertly operated, it managed to shift one of the enormous poles, relieving the distressed dog of his concrete bonds".

 

Better to use a large crane that attempt to move the pole than using people power which is a much safer plan. That way no people were injured.

 

Common sense 101.

The difference between east and west…this dog would have had already an owner and not be looking for one…just another day in the perilous life of a soi dog in Thailand…
