- Thai man faces jail time or a fine of up to 850 pounds for viral dog abuse
- Cruel dog owner took to social media to apologise for his actions
A man who tied his pregnant dog to a toilet before dousing her with boiling hot water has made a grovelling public apology after a video of the incident went viral.
The man, identified only as Bew, flew into a rage after Siberian Husky Muay Lek had a secret snack at their home in Thailand's Samut Prakan Province.
A horrific video shows him first scolding the distressed looking dog before producing a kettle of scalding hot water and repeatedly pouring it over her as she writhes and howls in pain.
Leaving her with severe burns, the man then posted the video online where it quickly went viral with outraged viewers demanding justice.
Shortly after, the man decided to rehouse the dog but when her new owners discovered her body covered in burn marks they immediately took her to a vet who contacted the SOS Animal Thailand Foundation.

Sukaree said: ‘After catching the dog secretly eating snacks the owner uses a leash to drag her into the bathroom.
‘Then he pours hot water onto the dog's body several times.
‘Well-wishers made it known to us who the owner is.'
Following the public announcement, the accused has since tried to clear his name and explain his actions.

Posting a message in the third person on social media he said: ‘Bew doesn't have a time machine to go back and fix the mistakes that happened.
‘Bew would like to give Bew's point of view in a space that will be open to the public.
‘Because today it's not a personal matter but it is a matter for society, for those who saw 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 has pressure and there are different ways of dealing with emotions when cornered.
‘And Bew made a mistake in managing his emotions badly. We felt guilty from the day it happened.
‘We are man enough to admit that we did it, and we can accept every 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).
