The series of accidents that has gripped Kirchberg ob der Donau for years, culminating last year, continues into the new year. Rottweiler "Ernie" bit two girls. But the priest rules out a curse and the mayor in charge also has a clear opinion on what he would do if his dog were to bite.

"That's not possible', everyone says, because it's really hard to understand" - even the mayor of Kirchberg ob der Donau, Stefan Reisinger, shakes his head at the almost uncanny series of five fatal accidents and the murder of his predecessor, whose motto was "z'Kiberg is am Feinsten". "Everyone had hoped that the new year would start more calmly" - but the fatal dog attack happened on New Year's Day.
