Two stray dogs severely mauled an infant and a cherished pet labradoodle on a suburban street; the owner said she was unable to care for the animals.
On Monday morning, a bull mastiff and Staffordshire terrier arrived as Nicole Filar and her eight-month-old baby Leo were strolling along a quiet street in Perth.
The two dogs first tried to jump up and eat the infant before focusing on her terrified buddy Kiki.
With her kid suffering from scratches and her dog suffering from stress, bystanders rush to aid the young mother in fending off the dogs.
Obviously, you’re trying to protect your kid. But having to be there with the two of them was just awful,’ Ms. Filar told Nine.
The assault on Beatrice Street in Doubleview, which was captured on security camera, is now being investigated by the City of Stirling. Neighbors were upset by the dogs’ presence.
The two can be seen jumping up in the video, trying to get Leo the infant, before one leaps on top of Kiki and begins biting at her neck.
The labradoodle makes many efforts to escape the dog’s grasp, but it persists and ultimately tackles her into the hedges.
Before blocking the mother and the nasty dogs, two bystanders step in and try to throw the brown dog off Kiki.
They began to circle us, and then one of the dogs sprang up at my kid, who was in the carrier tied to me, while the other dog had my dog pinned to the ground, according to Ms. Filar.
And since I couldn’t assist any of them, I simply began yelling for help and becoming crazy.
Leo eventually receives scrapes on his face as the dogs flee. Ms. Filar is grateful that things didn’t become worse.
The owner of the Staffordshire terrier and bull mastiff expressed her sincere regret for the incident and said that her granddaughter had left them in her care since she was unable to adequately care for them.
Owner Glorida Fryer said, “The dogs have not been taught correctly, and they are not walked.”
I’m unable to walk, therefore I can’t do it.
In the City of Stirling, dog owners who assault another dog may be fined up to $10,000, or $20,000 if the dog is dangerous.
