Pattaya animal control officers rounded up a pack of six stray dogs
that had attacked tourists on Beach Road.
An 8-year-old German-Thai child was bitten the week of Aug. 15 and was taken
to Pattaya Hospital, which will begin a series of rabies injections.
Following the attack, a beach vendor called city hall to report that the
pack of dogs slept around beach umbrellas and often went after children and
tourists, causing many injuries.
Officers from the Public Health Department’s veterinarian office found the
dogs around Soi 1 and Beach Road and, using tranquilizer guns, sedated and
caged the canines. They were taken to the Plutaluang Dog Centre.
