Gae is a stray dog that wanders the streets of Bangkok, Thailand, pretending to have a leg injury in order to elicit the compassion of passersby and get a lot of food scraps.
Gae draws attention to himself by walking about with his rear left leg pulled, giving the impression that it is broken. When people get worried and approach him, Gae quickly escapes by jumping out of the path and running away.
According to Thaweeporn Chongplapolkul, the stray dog has always used this tactic to attract attention. She is familiar with the dog since he has been living at her place of employment for a number of years at this point.
Thaweeporn said that while she does feed the dog on a regular basis, it seems that the canine is still looking for more attention.
One day, Thaweeporn spotted Gae attracting the attention of a biker who stopped alarmed when he noticed Gae’s situation assuming that he was hurt. However, as soon as the rider began approaching, the dog leaped out and fled away. Gae never saw the motorcyclist again.
At one point during the video, a man on a motorbike stops to check the dog is okay after seeing it limping but begins laughing once he sees there is nothing to worry about.
Resident Thaweeporn Chongplapolkul said: ” This old dog has lived in my workplace for a few years. He always does this trick to deceive people. I feed him rice but he still has this habit. He’s very smart. I think he does it to get people to feed him. “
People were concerned that the dog would really suffer an injury, however, Thaweeporn has assuaged our concerns by reassuring us that the puppy is well.
“We’ve checked both of his legs — they are both fine,” says Chongplapolkul. “In the event that Gae had any sort of injury, I would take him to the vets right away.”
Both of the dog’s legs have been examined, despite the fact that he is an elderly pet. They are both in good health.
