Police “Investigation through CCTV…Plan to arrest dog owner”
There was an incident where two dogs without a muzzle bit a 40-year-old mother and 7-year-old son while walking in the apartment, seriously injured.
Today (20th), the Chungnam Fire Department told JTBC that on the 19th, at around 4:20 pm, the mother and child who was playing in an apartment complex in Taean-gun were bitten by two dogs that visited the area and were seriously injured.
An official said, “After the accident, the mother and child were transported to the hospital using a doctor helicopter.
After receiving reports from residents at the scene of the accident, the 119th crew and the police rushed to the scene and captured two dogs that bit people at the scene. Among the two captured, a pit bull terrier, classified as a dog, was not wearing a leash or muzzle when attacking humans.
The current Animal Protection Act stipulates that Tosa dogs, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Stanfordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and Rottweiler are five breeds as dog breeds, and they are obliged to wear a muzzle.
If the safety device is not used and a person is injured, the owner of the dog can be punished by imprisonment for up to two years or by a fine of up to 20 million won.
The police confirmed that the dogs captured through the built-in recognition chip were dogs raised by residents of detached houses near the apartment.
An official from the Taean Police Station said on the phone, “The investigation is ongoing, including checking how the dogs escaped the house and entered the apartment through the surrounding CCTV. told
