speedtripler Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Only in Thailand does a dog think it can relax in the middle of a road or in the doorway of a 7/11 and people will go around it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z42 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) While i don't condone hit and runs I also don't think the owner is blameless just letting the dog sit in the road. Friends of mine have been injured when dogs have run in front of their bikes, and also i know of people being attacked by unrestrained dogs in public places. I feel for the dog dying like it did, but these netizens getting irate about a dog when their country is going to the dogs rapidly (pun intended) is a clear window into why the main problems are getting overlooked because of frankly trivial stuff like this Edited July 5, 2017 by z42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datom1962 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Whoever was driving the truck could clearly see the dog.they have a horn,they could of stopped. If they could not see the dog they should not be driving. This is just typical of many Thai drivers. There is no condoning the drivers actions. Dogs sit in the road all over the world, everyone knows this. Yes the owner of the dog is at fault.assuming it's not a stray but that driver is 100 per cent to blame.I feel sickened that it happened and i can understand many complaining on the net. The way these people drive is being shown more and more now with cameras. How can any so called Buddhist do this to an animal. This disgusting excuse for a human didn't even stop. He could have put the dog out of its's misery but he just clearly didn't care. Anyone who feels it's ok to make a pun or call it trivial is no better than the driver.

ratcatcher Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) A Siberian Husky is not a soi dog, they are expensive to buy.Who was the unfortunate and careless owner? The soi dog run to look and sniff. The human <deleted> just stand and gawp, the screams of the injured dog must have been loud. Regardless, the driver of the truck may yet be identified if he's a local. Edited July 5, 2017 by ratcatcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Montana (this dog had just sat on 1 road too many) Yep Mai Pen Thais know any dog on the street is fair game - a bit like you see in the villages & the men carrying machetes Or you could always refer back to a story on here about a Tortoise - Falang tried to save but the Thai got in touch with Budha & was informed not to intervene it's the Tortoises time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Dog should have been on a lead if out of the house, if not they can expect to get run over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a bit of journalistic licence for a soi dog that may have some smattering of Husky genes from the far distant past. My neighbour has recently been given one such animal FOC of course, people don't pay for dogs around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Train the dog, obviously... Educate the owners, definately... Some countries have laws requiring owners to go through a training and exam process before getting the permission to get a dog...your choice to consider it arbitrary or justified... But sorry, there are more urgent issues to handle obviously.... Sad for the dog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmaxdan Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Reading some of the above posts has just reiterated why I much prefer the company of dogs over humans.For me personally, this is one of the most shocking and sickening videos I have ever seen.

The owner punched him, then he turned in to a toy poodle - and ran yelping to the police. Typical macho muscled bully attitude....they enjoy picking, punching ranting at others usually smaller or weaker... But once you make the bully loose face, hit back verbally or physically, they are generally always a bunch of scaredy cowards with no character and whime at the slightest contrariety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsamui Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) This seems to me to be a typical Thai dog, a typical Thai owner (nowhere to be seen) and a typical Thai driver.

Moti24 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yes, soi dogs are a problem everywhere in Thailand, but I can't believe I've just read some of the comments, above! If the driver had slowed down and hooted, no doubt the dog would have moved, but he didn't even slow down, neither did he stop. If any of you think that running-over the dog was justified, you are no better than the scum driving the pickup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the soi dogs have a sense of entitlement in Thailand, this one is lucky the pickup got him with both wheels and he died quickly, I doubt any "Thai owner" would be bringing him to the vets for an expensive Surgery if he was only partially injured if truck just ran over one leg etc....

Jeremy50 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Terrible. But a Siberian Husky should be running through the snows of the Canadian or Siberian plains and forests. I am appalled when I see this breed here suffering in the Thai tropical heat, it's an act of cruelty in itself. Despite it's painful and cruel death, it's in a better place now.

poohy Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Sad for the dog! stupid driver but typical thai owner if its not on your premises its on a lead! oh silly me where am i? Ps i have 2 large hounds that are always kept on our property here in the country as although big and loving both mutts are not particularly motorcycle or overly Thai friendly We have it on good authority local Thais would not like to come to our house, because of the big noisy black dogs , and that that's just the way i want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
