“Lovely” farang to the rescue! Dog saved from becoming dinner by Westerner

A video posted to a site on Facebook showed an unnamed western man saving a dog from the chop at a butchers.

The dog was put into a carrying case and apparently taken away after a fee was paid.

A woman can be seen cutting up meat as the dog is retrieved by the man from a sack.

Comment was rife on the story featured on the “Khot Hia Vs Hote Sat 20+” page and it was shared more than 4,000 times.

Some defended the eating of dog as “cultural” while other Thais attacked the practice of carving up man’s best friend for dinner.

The tagline on the Facebook page called the foreigner “lovely” for asking to buy the dog.

He seemed to have come prepared to make the rescue with a purpose-built travelling cage.
