“Mr. Wisit and Giant were sleeping for about one hour when my son saw the dog attacked him while he was sleeping. It took about half an hour to rescue Mr. Wisit from the dog who was aggressively stopping others from approaching my injured husband.” Wanpen added.
The dog continued to be aggressive and threaten rescue workers and family of the victim and members of a local pitbull club were called to assist around 10:30 A.M. this morning.
