LAMPANG — 6 August 2026, CCTV footage has emerged showing a man riding a motorcycle while dragging a black Labrador along a road for about 2-3 kilometres before abandoning it near a market in central Lampang.
The severely injured dog, named Tang Tang, was rescued at about 03:35 on 6 August by officials from the Lampang Municipality’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Division. The dog was taken to Lampang Animal Hospital for urgent treatment, with vendors at Aomsin Market pooling money to cover its medical expenses.
Police and local officials are checking CCTV footage to identify the middle-aged man, who is believed to have picked up the dog near Tha Ma-O Bridge or the area behind Surasak Montri Camp in Hua Wiang subdistrict before leaving it near the market.
Initial information indicates that the man is not the dog’s owner. The owner has already filed a complaint at Mueang Lampang police station.
A resident of Lampang who belongs to the Lampang City Facebook group later shared CCTV footage from outside his home showing the man dragging the dog along the road. The footage prompted outrage among animal lovers, who called on police to identify and prosecute the person responsible.
Tang Tang is now safe and remains under close veterinary supervision.
