Pet Dogs Swallow Gold Necklaces... 6.3 Million Won Worth Found in Stomachs

Gold Fragments Recovered Through Emergency Surgery

In Thailand, two pet dogs swallowed gold necklaces worth over 6 million won in a bizarre incident.

According to Thai media outlet 'The Thaiger' on May 8 (local time), a Thai man named Nattapon Lukachat (41) recently shared an unbelievable experience involving his pet dogs.

Nattapon owns three dogs. One night, before going to bed, he placed a gold necklace on a chair. The dogs surrounded it and began to chew on it. The necklace was reportedly worth 210,000 baht (approximately 9.45 million won).

The next morning, Nattapon was startled awake by his girlfriend's scream. She had witnessed two of the dogs chewing and swallowing the necklace. The remnants of the necklace were scattered on the floor.

After gathering the remaining gold, it was estimated that the value of the gold necklaces swallowed by the dogs was 140,000 baht (about 6.3 million won). Shortly after, the dogs began to vomit, and gold fragments appeared in their feces. Nattapon immediately took the dogs to an animal hospital. X-ray examinations revealed gold fragments in the stomachs of the two dogs.

The attending veterinarian immediately recommended surgery to Nattapon. Fortunately, the surgeries were successful. In a post on his social media account, Nattapon stated, "The two dogs are receiving intensive care at the hospital, but their condition is currently stable."

He also reported that he collected all the gold fragments retrieved from the dogs' stomachs and sold them to a store. However, he did not disclose the final sale amount.
