According to the owner of the 9-year-old Shih Tzu, at about 6:40 am the animal began to grunt in the garage. Looking out the window, the owner noticed that two more dogs had attacked her. Information taken from the R7 Portal.

He even used a broom to try to save the dog. However, the dogs only released the Shih Tzu when the neighbor hit them with an iron rod. Both animals ran away and the Shih Tzu was rushed to the vet.

To the DF Civil Police, the owner of the dogs that attacked the dog stated that the animals escaped early in the morning. The man claims this was the first time pit bulls have escaped from their home and has promised to pay Diane’s veterinary expenses.

A case has been registered at the 26th police station and is being investigated as failure to maintain and manage animals with care.
