Fierce Dog Attack on German Resident in Jomtien
Mr. Reinhard Richard Buhrig, aged 70, from Germany is a resident in Pattaya and has been here for many years at Jomtien Nivate Village, Thappraya Road.
He has been having continuous problems with a neighbour’s dog in the village; indeed he has been bitten by this dog twice already.
One night, while he was walking out of the village, he passed this neighbour’s house and again the dog which was running around with no muzzle rushed at him and mauled and bit him 5 times, leaving the man seriously injured.
Mr. Buhrig stated that the dog’s owner had paid him compensation for the previous incident and stated that the dog would be muzzled and chained, but they didn’t keep their promise.
The man’s shirt and trousers – even his hat that fell off while he was trying to escape from the attack were covered in blood.
The Sawang Rescuers quickly gave him first aid and sent him to the hospital for treatment.
