Hellhog attacks walkers: tragic drama in Ertingen!

Ertingen, Deutschland - A shocking incident occurred on Friday evening in Ertingen when a herd protection dog escaped from her enclosure and attacked two walkers. Around 7 p.m., a 59-year-old woman with her dog, a pumi male, was on a walk when the Owtscharka dog suddenly attacked. The pumi male was killed and the owner suffered minor injuries from the attack.

This incident occurs in a quiet neighborhood in which such aggressive encounters are rather rare. However, it shows the potential dangers that can be used by non -leash or unsecured dogs. While the first group of walkers recovered from the shock of the attack, another 35-year-old woman was bitten into the leg by the same bitch. Her wound was so serious that she had to be brought to a medical treatment clinic.

background of the incident

The owner of the aggressive bitch, a part -time shepherd, was not present at the time of the attack. It is unclear how the bitch managed to leave the enclosure. Nevertheless, the dog owner is now being investigated for negligent bodily harm. Such incidents raise many questions, especially with regard to the responsibility of the dog owners and the need to ensure that dangerous dogs are sufficiently secured.

The owner of the fatally attacked Pumi-Rüden also has the option of initiating legal steps in the form of a civil lawsuit. Among other things, such complaints could aim at compensation for the loss of their dog. In Germany, dog owners usually have responsibility for the behavior of their animals, especially if they pose a danger to others.

The Riedlingen police have started the investigation to clarify the exact circumstances of the incident. The shock wave, which this incident sent by the community, could result in far -reaching discussions about the securing of dogs and the responsibility of the owners. Further developments remain to be seen and may lead to a re -evaluation of regulations or recommendations for dog behavior standards.
