Residents are hailing a local dog as a hero after he sniffed out an infant buried and left to die by his mother.

Three-legged Ping Pong is now the hero of Korat’s Tha Talat community after he found a newborn buried in a cassava field. Farmers noticed the dog sniffing around one spot, before digging and finding a child.

Police soon apprehended a 15-year-old girl, who reportedly was charged with attempted murder after she confessed to burying the baby. The teen told police she was afraid her father would beat her for getting pregnant. The mother’s family has requested to take the baby under their care.

Ping Pong, 6, is owned by a local man Usa Nisaika, 41, who raised him from birth.

“Ping Pong was hit by a car, so he’s disabled. But I kept him because he’s so loyal and obedient, and always helps me out when I go into the fields to tend to my cattle,” Usa said. “He’s loved by the entire village. It’s amazing he found the baby.”

Ping Pong is now the pride of Tha Talat.

"Ping Pong, 6, is a Thai breed dog who only has three working legs. "

Looks like he has 4 legs but apparently one does not work, whatever that means.

It means he got hit by a car and didn't have veterinary treatment, I think.

Something like that happened on the farmstead here,, only it was a kitten the dog found somewhere and decided to bury on her own. I heard some strange mewling and followed the sounds. Found a kitten buried in dirt by the woodpile.
It depends on who buried what when.
