webfact Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Husky pays with his life protecting house from CobraImage: ThairathBANGKOK: -- A Siberian Husky defending a house from a snake attack paid with his life. But took the snake with him.The owner of "Taiki" returned home to find the husky lying dead outside the Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi property used as a puppy rearing facility and vet's. Lying next to the husky was a 1.8 metre long cobra that had been bitten, reported ThairathReporters found canine friends of the deceased, eight Chihuahuas, three Shih Tzu and two Pomeranians that were also kept at the house, looking on sadly.Owner Karit Panyaphat had been out with some puppies and returned to the scene. A neighbor told him that he had heard a commotion from inside the house. Karit said that he thought the cobra was looking for mice and that Taiki had defended the house but been bitten.

haybilly Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Excessively, is my guess,in answer to ChrisY question. I really think that anyone who buys, and especially breeds from, dogs from cold Arctic counties, should ensure that the dogs are kept in reasonable surroundings- not roaming in the garden in 42° heat.

SABloke Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Who the hell keeps a husky in Thailand? My friend's got 2. Like all mammals (think long term fat Scandinavian in Thailand) they adapt: instead of growing their winter coats they keep their fur light and short.

Like all mammals (think long term fat Scandinavian in Thailand) they adapt: instead of growing their winter coats they keep their fur light and short. You are wrong! I still have my thick winter fur so I look like a fat gorilla compared with any Thai... But you are right that we adapt, back home in Sweden I used to wear t-shirt and sandals until the snow level was higher then the sole (about -5 - 0C), now I complain that it's cold when it's under 10 degrees....

koolkarl Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I feel sorry for this dog for 2 reasons. First it is dead and secondly, it has been suffering it's entire life in Thailand. This dog can live in the Arctic yet some ignorant jerk has these dogs in Thailand. I would like to send this jerk to Siberia for a year, without clothes and see how he likes it !!

Merylhighground Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Sad tale. Poor dog. Poor snake. As the snake's natural environment is hacked away at and encroached upon continually, people wonder why there are more tales of this nature on the rise. Dogs and snakes were never meant to meet in any environment. Most Dogs, especially larger ones simply don't have the guile, speed, agility or tools which natural predators of snakes such as the mongoose or (wild) cats, possess. Poor thing probably managed to keep the snake at bay for a while, got too bold, fatally injured the snake and got tagged.

ScotBkk Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Wow.. this is where I live.. I know there are snakes around but never seen a live one yet. Still. its pretty urban here already. But still there are some rice fields and other nature around. But to be honest never worried about snakes.. now I do again. Cobras I've seen king Cobras in and around Nonthaburi but more prolific in places like Pathum Thani Province. They scare the shit out of me and for some unbeknown reason I've came face to face with them 3 times in ten years. I explained this uncanny dilemma to a Thai monk asking why he thought this was happening to me. He said' it means your lucky. Well' having respiratory problems like asthma and the like don't think so if any of these muthafukka bastards bite me. I don't even like worms hahaha!!

ronaldo0 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Puppy rearing facility?? at a vets ?? Sounds like the kind of place you want to avoid !! As for having huskies in Thailand it is not much off a problem if they are owned by people who care. If the dogs are born here they don't really know any different as they are adapted to the heat as they grow. Huskies also shed their coat several times a year and their coats are double layered so as well as the usual thought these dogs are meant to live in snow the coats keep the heat out from the dogs core. My huskies will lie in the sun for 15-30 minutes at a time and are the last ones in the house when they go out with thai dogs. Pomeranian dogs seem to struggle more with the heat and my short haired Thai soi dog hates the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my 9 years here I have seen 3 dead snakes.. not sure what kind because they were all run over by cars. I have yet to encounter a life one and like you i would have been scared crazy.
