"Rottweilers kill owners' child

3:20PM Thursday August 14, 2008

 

BANGKOK, Thailand - Anyone who's ever been frightened to death - or, even worse, bitten - by an aggressive attack dog on a neighbouring property may be surprised to discover it isn't always strangers who are in the firing line.

 

Occasionally the dogs' owners become victims, too.

 

Two Rottweiler dogs have killed a 20-month-old girl and savaged her mother's legs in an unprovoked attack at their home in northeastern Thailand, police said today.

Jintana Plu told police she had just taken her daughter, Nina, home from a birthday party when two of the family's three Rottweilers suddenly attacked the child, biting into her skull, police Lt. Somneuk Jiemjungried said.

 

The large dogs then bit Jintana's legs as she tried to rescue her baby, Somneuk said.

Jintana, 42, said the dogs belonged to her Dutch husband, Somneuk said. One of the animals had been properly trained but the other two, which were new to the family, launched the attack, he said.

 

The mother was hospitalized in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima.

 

Somneuk said Jintana asked for the animals to be put down or given away.

"Occasionally" my foot!

 

In fact more than half of dog bite victims are bitten by their own dogs, more than half of those victims are children, and more than half of those children are boys. 

 

In this case, as with Koro Dinsdale's pig dogs and the Northland woman killed by a bite from a Malamute here in NZ, spot the common factor of dogs new to the pack.
