Small canine attacks smaller canine, resulting in the death of its owner
In the district of Voecklabruck, a distressing incident occurred on Saturday when a mastiff broke free from its leash and attacked a small dog, ultimately leading to the smaller dog's tragic death.
The incident took place during a walk with the mastiff's owner, but no further details about the owners or the breeds of the dogs were provided. The smaller dog, a female, was bitten multiple times by the mastiff, and despite the efforts of bystanders, it was unable to survive the attack.
The 72-year-old owner of the small dog was also injured during the incident. The mastiff's muzzle came off during the attack, adding to the severity of the situation. The injured owner was taken to the hospital in Voecklabruck for treatment.
