A 20-year-old blind dog that got stuck in a drainage
pipe caused quite a stir in a Naklua neighborhood until rescuers finally
saved her.
Sawang Boriboon Foundation staff were called to the
Wandee House restaurant on Soi 16 Jan. 24. A crowd had gathered around a
storm drain trying to calm “Auy Ai”. Technicians used tools to open a
drain cover and pulled the dog out unhurt amid much applause.
Owner Wandee Srithongtim, 67, said she didn’t know
how the old blind canine got into the drainage system, but instead of
finding her way out, she wandered into the main drain pipe and got
stuck.
