Disabled Dog Rescues Baby Buried Alive in Thailand

Bangkok: A disabled dog has become the pride of his village in northeast Thailand by rescuing a baby boy who was buried alive by his teenaged mother.

The sniffing and digging of the dog named Ping Pong attracted the attention of farmers to a spot in Ban Nong Kham village in Cham Phuang district earlier this week. According to Ping Pong’s owner, the dog’s digging exposed the child’s legs, prompting locals to take out the infant to safety, the Guardian reported. A 15-year-old girl confessed to burying her baby and was charged with attempted murder. She said she had been scared of retribution from her father for getting pregnant. (IANS)
