Buy any cute poodle puppies in Maha Sarakham province lately? If so, run for your life.

Authorities in the northeast of Thailand are desperately searching for a litter of five very cute but possibly deadly puppies after their mother died on the table at an area clinic while getting fixed.

An examination found she was infected with rabies, health ministry chief Narong Sahamethapat announced yesterday.

Now health officials are scrambling against the clock as the little puppy time-bombs could erupt into fully rabid, yip-yip-yipping little angels of death.

So, where are they? Mama dog’s human companion reveals he sold three puppies at a market near Mahasarakham University in late February, while the other two died of the virus soon after that.

The officials urged anyone who might have come into contact with the three puppies to get vaccinated immediately and reminded the public to find pets from reliable sources, Sanook reported.
