A dog named “Dum” learned why curiosity nearly kills cats
when he stuck his head through a metal fence and got stuck for hours.
Thanorm Munkhong, a resident at Sattahip’s Darathorn
Village, called authorities after investigating prolonged howling and
barking by a neighbor’s dog and finding the canine’s head stuck in between
bars of a metal fence.
Around 1:30 p.m. Sept. 23, Capt. Watcharin Saeneewong Na
Ayuthaya contacted Sattahip Mayor Narong Bunbancherdsri who dispatched
animal-rescue officials to free the animal.
Thanorm told authorities that his neighbor had left for
work around 7:30 a.m., leaving the dog outside as security. However, “Ai
Dum” is a curious pup and obviously wanted to play. Trying to squeeze
through the bars to find new friends, the mutt got stuck and could only call
for help.
Neighbors tried to calm the dog with food and water, but
it wasn’t until he was freed several hours later he settled down.
