“If I hear barkada, I’ll be scared”

A few minutes later, in front of this same court, another retiree came to testify at the bar. He also quietly walked the countryside of Dol-de-Bretagne. Passing through the same village, a German shepherd-type dog (the investigation cannot prove that this animal is exactly the same, Editor’s letter) suddenly attacked him. The walker was bitten on the hand and leg. By removing his teeth, the dog left him “a deep wound” that revealed raw veins.

The victim, barely holding back her tears, told the court how the attack had changed her.

“I was so shocked. I love animals, I will be scared now if I hear a dog barking ”.

“What if it was a child”

If he files a complaint, he says, it’s not for the use of his hand that “80%” he “recovered” but “because I was attacked in the area constantly.Families come to walk there with their child. Children can learn to cycle here. If a child is held in the throat like I was bitten by the hand, he is not here now ”.

4 months suspended and the animal confiscated

We learn during the hearing that the German shepherd who was clearly identified during the first attack was not vaccinated against rabies and that he was “squeezing” another walker according to his owner, who was not in court. We also learn that the mayor has issued an order requesting a behavioral examination of the dog.
