A two-year-old boy was seriously injured after being attacked by a family dog at a relative’s home in Buriram Province. The child, who had been playing at his grandmother's relative's house, suffered a deep wound to his leg, stretching 7 centimetres wide and involving tendons and bone.

 

On 24th March, it was reported that the incident occurred when the boy, familiar with the dog named ‘Oleang’, was unexpectedly bitten.

 

The dog, previously known for its friendly demeanour, abruptly turned violent, leaving the boy’s grandmother, Mrs. Sin, in shock. She expressed disbelief that such an incident could occur, given the dog’s usual familiarity with her grandson.

 

 

 

Mrs. Sin described how ‘Oleang’ approached the boy and bit his leg, causing panic among those present. It took several minutes for her and family members to free the child from the dog’s grip.

 

The severe wound required medical intervention at a local hospital, where the child is being closely monitored for infection due to the depth of the injury.

 

Speculation has arisen regarding the sudden change in the dog's behaviour. The dog's owner noted that ‘Oleang’ had appeared irritable in the days leading up to the attack, raising concerns about a possible rabies infection. As a precaution, the dog has been quarantined for observation, reported Daily News.

shoot the dog ....    problem solved.

 

what if others weren't around to stop the mongrel ....  

 

oh'   let me guess ... he's a pitbull x .... and he wouldn't hurt a fly  

[ChipButty]

Put the crazy dog down, he;s done it once he will do it again, the dog was probably jealous of the baby getting all the attention,

In defence of dogs......

 

I have seen the way that some kids 'play' with, and around dogs.

My wife was a teacher and she took our well-trained German shepherd to school one day for a class.

After she caught one kid trying to stick a pencil up his bum, and another kid trying to ride him, she realised the stupidity of that project.

 

I am not suggesting that this is what the kid in the article was doing, but some dogs are nervous around kids for a good reason.

All dogs have the capacity to bite... for what reason depends on circumstances, in this case no-one knows.

The little one is traumatized for his whole life.🥺

And the dog? I hope he's not alive anymore.❗

However, we're in buddhist Thailand.

So they will keep him😨probably.

Put the beast down. The sooner the better. Any dog who bites any human being in a serious manner should be put down within 24 hours, no questions asked and no appeals possible. Dogs should never be given priority over humans and doing so is a sign of a broken society, too many snowflakes, and bent priorities. Not only that but the owner should face a massive fine, and there's just no excuse to have a poorly behaved dog who's aggressive toward others, especially defenseless children.

[WDSmart]

Assuming the child did nothing to provoke the dog, I agree with quarantining the dog for observation.

Pitbull? Vicious breed? Friendly one minute then not the next?

[jvs]

My neighbors kid was severely bitten in the face by his own dog a few years ago.

The dog was always extremely aggressive towards strangers but the dog slept in the bed with the kid.

The dog was always viciously barking at us when we had to pass him but there was a fence so he could not get near us.

A few days before the attack i walked to the road and the dog went berserk like usual but this time while he was barking he severely was shaken his head.

Giving my background in working with dogs i knew right away  the dog had a severe ear infection,it made him even angrier.

The attack on the kid happened  two days later.

Kid in emergency and we never saw the dog again.

When a dog has been irritable for a few days there usually is a cause.

I agree both the child and the dog might need an injection if it is determined that the dog has rabies.

I don't think the child should be punished for the incident by treating him for "everything." Nothing in the article indicated the child had done anything to provoke the dog, although, of course, that might be the case. I think there is still time for the child to learn how to treat and live compatibly with animals and other people. As far as the dog is concerned, a small amount of pentobarbital could be given as a sedative, but too much would be dangerous, so I think that is uncalled for.

are you crazy?    take care of the poor little boy.   and give the dog a GOOD LARGE dose injection of pentobarbital.

My very first thoughts...  Pit Bull...  but thats clearly due to the bias and media conditioning we've received over the years.

 

I agree - shoot the dog - it has to be put down. 

 

And...  yep - I'm still betting this dog was a bit-bull variety or one of the breeds that is commonly banned or on 'dangerous dogs lists' in many countries....   It certainly wasn't a poodle !!!

I DO live in Thailand and if it were my dog, I would have it put down or put if down myself.

 

BTW where a person lives has nothing to do with the thread.

You would probably have to do it yourself as most Thai vets will not put an animal down in my experience.

Please can we not make stories and just stick to the facts. What’s wrong with you people.

Not a Pit Bull or a viscous breed. 
Just a Thai dog.

Are you genuinely that dense, or is punctuation just too advanced for you? It’s called a question mark - look it up. It means someone is asking something, not telling a bedtime story, so spare us you virtue signalling...  its pathetic from someone as hypocritical as yourself.... 

 

 

Your link finally coughs up that it’s a Thai breed dog...  congratulations...

 

Now tell me, why the hell wasn’t that mentioned in the original piece? Instead, we get this half-baked mess that leaves a vacuum for guesswork.

 

That’s the thing you're clearly unfamiliar with - questions. You know, those squiggly things at the end of sentences? They exist because the story is incomplete (as often mentioned in these threads).

But it has to do with a kind of thinking. And you are definitely not familiar with Thai culture.

Good day

Perhaps you should try it instead of endlessly making things up.
