Old dog with new tricks
Just as you start taking pity on the dog, a video showed the moment it quickly transitioned into one with full functioning legs. Watch the clip here.
The media gathered that whenever people offered to help the animal, it would jump up and run around excitedly.
A local resident, Thaweeporn Chongplapolkul, quoted by New York Post, said that people around where the dog lives feed and take care of it.
There is nothing wrong with the dog
In assuring that there is nothing wrong with the dog, the woman said:
“We’ve checked both of his legs - they are both fine. If Gae had any kind of injury, I would take him to the vets immediately.”
At a point during its trick, a motorbike man stopped and wanted to help. He laughed when he saw that it was all an act to deceive.
