Bangkok - A doctor lost her bedside manner when her boyfriend, also a doctor, refused to let her keep their dog after they decided to separate, a newspaper report said Sunday.
Napawan Choppradit, 29, was upset when Supachoke Buddhacharoenlarp refused to part with the dog as they met Thursday to arrange their parting.
When he decided to drive off without giving up the dog, Napawan fired two shots with a handgun, hitting his Jeep Cherokee.
'Dr Napawan wanted to take the dog, but I refused. After arguing for a while, I got in the car, where the dog was being kept. She was angry and shot at us two times,' he told the Bangkok Post.
Police in Ubon Ratchathani province have charged Dr Napawan with attempted murder, according to the report.
