A Pattaya man has died after being attacked by his own Pitbull Terrier as he slept in his bed.
Wisit Sanguanmak, 56 was hospitalized after his 2-year-old Pitbull, Giant, woke from a nap and suddenly attacked him, tearing at his neck and head.
It took neigbours nearly thirty minutes to stop the attack and to get the dog away from the injured man.
Volunteers from the Pattaya Pitbull Club arrived and sedated the dog before chaining it up at the front of the house. Giant is now in the club’s custody until it is determined what to do with it.
Wisit’s widow, Wanpen, said the couple had raised the dog since it was three months old, and Wisit regularly slept alongside the Pitbull with no problems. However, she did acknowledge that Giant bit her two months ago.
