A Kufstein family is shocked: their little four-legged friend fell victim to a powerful ‘attack dog’ while out for a walk. The Tyrolean police have already filed several reports.
The nightmare for the business couple from Kufstein became reality last Sunday: “During a walk in Weissach we came close to two other large dogs,” says the owner of the female Biewer Yorkshire Terrier named “Lila”.
“We just want to play” – by then it was already too late
The owner simply said that the powerful and free-roaming companions “just wanted to play” – by then it was already too late: “The two dogs chased my ‘Lila’ for minutes, and they shouted ‘Lila’ near a wall on Glashüttenstrasse’ .”
“One of the two then bit, his mouth was almost as big as my small dog,” says the Unterländer, describing the terrible scenes. Determined, he and his wife did not dare to intervene: “They were enormous creatures, I have never seen such large skulls.”
Large wounds in the neck and abdomen
The little Yorkshire terrier died immediately as a result of massive wounds to his neck and abdomen. “My wife was still holding our dog, she was also covered in blood – a huge shock.”
The alerted city police recorded the data. “We have filed several reports under the State Police Act,” it said. However, they did not specify the nature of the alleged violations.
There is no list of dangerous dogs in Tyrol
The powerful dogs belong to the Mastiff breed. In principle they are considered gentle, but in Vienna and Vorarlberg they belong to the “list dogs” (often called “fighting dogs”). In Tyrol this list does not exist, but since October 2020 there is a mandatory certificate of competence for novice dog owners, regardless of breed.
