The jogger was able to shake off the dog and called for help. The shocked dog owner alerted the rescue team, who took the jogger to the hospital after first aid from the emergency doctor.
Eidenberg’s mayor Adolf Hinterhölzl (ÖVP) reacts angrily. The dog has already become conspicuous several times, this is the third incident – all this year. And they followed a certain pattern that suggested training. Nevertheless, the community has little control: “We have already done what is possible,” said the local leader. “But it’s legally difficult to deal with this because there are so many loopholes for dog owners. But we did what we could do. Now it’s the district administration’s turn,” says the mayor.
He can’t say at the moment what will happen to the dog or whether it will be taken away. “At least from our side we did everything we could to achieve it.”
