Dog attack in Linz: Owners ignore bleeding Cockapoo!
Another shocking incident occurred in Linz: A Cockapoo named “Pauli” was recently attacked by two off-leash dogs during a walk. According to the owner, Karin D., who was shocked by the aftermath, the owners of the attacking dogs remained completely disinterested and moved on without any emotion. “My sister just screamed for us to hold on to our dog,” she says, describing the dramatic scenes. After the incident, Pauli had to undergo surgery as he suffered serious injuries. “The vet warned that without treatment he could die from the injuries,” she added, clarifying that such incidents must be prevented in the future. The incident has already been reported to the police, who confirmed the family's statements. Karin D. calls for more responsibility from dog owners and is even thinking about using muzzles.

The legal changes also impact local animal shelters that are already experiencing overcrowding. Binder and Kusche report that a significant proportion of the dogs given there are suspicious and are therefore subject to the new regulations. A change in thinking among future dog owners is urgently needed, as many of the dogs come from backgrounds with behavioral problems, which makes the chances of finding them extremely difficult. A transformation in the way dogs are treated is called for; after all, the aim behind the law is not only to create protective conditions, but also to improve the lives and well-being of the animals.
