Seven people, including a three-year-old Cambodian girl, were bitten by a stray dog at a temple in Chachoengsao on Saturday morning.
Police said five of the victims were rushed to the Bang Pakong hospital and two others to the Chularat Hospital.
The attack was apparently triggered when Thanom Simma, 65, a resident living near the temple tried to hit the dog with a stick after he saw it attacking his hens.
Witnesses said the dog jumped on him and bit him on the head and face, then ran into the temple to attack people who had come to make merit on Asanha Bucha day.
The dog was later seen running across the road into forest.
The Cambodian girl was also bitten on the head and face.
