Under the table

Dog bit neighbor in the face while petting her

Was he startled? Probably. Because an old German shepherd dog in the Mühlviertel region, which was previously considered good-natured, suddenly bit and injured a woman who wanted to stroke him. She was no stranger to him and was in "his" house. The teeth caught the woman's face.

A 44-year-old woman from Königswiesen was petting her neighbor's eight-year-old, old German shepherd dog at around 11:10 a.m. on Sunday. The animal was lying under the kitchen table, preferring to be inside in the heat.

No warning
She bent down to him when the dog, which is considered to be good-natured, suddenly bit without warning and caught the Mühlviertel woman in the face. The dog inflicted indeterminate injuries on her. The 44-year-old was taken to hospital after first aid by the ambulance. The 51-year-old owner will be charged.
