Hero dog saves the life of an infant baby who was discarded in the trash in Thailand.
More below the fold.
A stray dog saved the life of an infant baby who was apparently discarded in the trash. Two other dogs were attacking the infant when suddenly Nom Sod (the name at least one resident calls this hero dog) rushed in and grabbed the infant by its clothes and rushed off to a well lighted area, growling menacingly to the other dogs as a warning to stay away.
A local resident, Raenoon Trakoon, who lives in a nearby home saw what transpired. He originally thought the bundle was a doll or something and then suddenly heard the baby cry and he took the infant from the dog and called for help. The infant was rushed to the hospital.
This happened some time between around May 4th and May 15th. I can't find the exact date online.
Security camera footage revealed a woman believed to be the infant's mother in the area near the time of the incident.
I have been trying to find out how the infant is doing and whether they found out who left the baby there but have not been able to find this information yet. I will keep looking and update this diary if I am able to find more detail. I sure hope the infant is doing OK.
