Photos of the dog, nick-named Nong Brown, were posted on Thonglor Pet Hospital's Facebook page, showing the neck wounds inflicted by the small piece of PVC pipe.

“Nong Brown is a stray dog and someone placed a piece of pipe around its neck. As the dog grew bigger, the pipe squashed its neck, causing injuries, a bad smell and great discomfort.

“A good samaritan found the dog and brought it to Thonglor Pet Hospital in Pattaya. We broke the pipe and treated the wounds.

“Nong Brown is now safe and is fortunate to have a new loving owner,” the hospital wrote on its post.

The hospital also warned pet owners that a collar or harness that is too tight can cause injuries to animals, which cannot remove them unaided.
