Cruel dog owner faces jail after he filmed himself pouring boiling water over his pregnant pet and left it writhing in agony as punishment for ‘stealing treats’
- Thai man faces jail or fine of up to £850 for viral dog abuse
- Cruel dog owner apologized for his actions on social media
A man who tied his pregnant dog to a toilet before dousing her with scalding hot water has made a groveling public apology after a video of the incident went viral.
The man, identified only as Bew, became enraged after Siberian Husky Muay Lek ate a secret snack at their home in Thailand‘s Samut Prakan Province.
A gruesome video shows him first scolding the distressed dog before pulling out a kettle of boiling hot water and pouring it over her repeatedly as she writhes and yelps in pain.
The man left her with severe burns and then posted the video online, where it quickly went viral and outraged viewers demanded justice.
Shortly afterwards, the man decided to rehome the dog, but when her new owners discovered that her body was covered in burns, they immediately took her to a veterinarian who contacted the SOS Animal Thailand Foundation.

‘Then he pours hot water on the dog’s body several times.
‘Patrons have let us know who the owner is.’
Following the public announcement, the suspect has since attempted to clear his name and explain his actions.

The dog is now in good hands. If her former owner is found guilty, she faces a prison sentence or a fine of up to £850
He posted a message in the third person on social media saying, “Bew doesn’t have a time machine to go back and fix the mistakes he made.
‘Bew would like to present Bew’s point of view in a space open to the public.
‘Because today it is not a personal matter, but a matter of society, of those who have seen the images of violence.
He explained that he had raised the pregnant dog since she was 45 days old.
He added: “Bew wants to explain to society that everyone is under pressure and that there are different ways to deal with emotions when you are cornered.
‘And Bew made a mistake by dealing poorly with his emotions. We felt guilty from the day it happened.
“We are man enough to admit that we did it, and we can accept any insult as a result of our own actions.”
If found guilty, the man faces jail time or a fine of up to 40,000 Baht (£850).
