A French bulldog and an American Staffordshire terrier attacked a rehab patient (56) at a campsite in Bad Schallerbach - he was bitten several times. Now a camping neighbor describes how the attack happened. Meanwhile, stricter rules will soon apply to four-legged friends in Upper Austria.

Even a fence apparently couldn't stop the two dogs from attacking a 56-year-old man in their rage. The man from St. Pölten was - as reported - undergoing rehabilitation in Upper Austria when a French bulldog and an American Staffordshire terrier attacked him on Tuesday at the campsite in Bad Schallerbach, where he was walking past with a hiking group.
