A dog with a record of killing two other canines on the street has attacked a third target, this time resulting in the intercepting dog owner’s two-week hospitalization.
The Suwon District Court ruled a 2 million won ($1,870) fine to the attacker dog’s owner for negligence. Despite the dog’s past record of violence, the defendant had neglected to put a muzzle on it while taking it for a walk.

The incident occurred in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, around 11 p.m. in July 2017. The victim had been out walking her own dog, and in the course of protecting her canine companion, she sustained injuries to her face and neck.
The dog that attacked the woman has since been euthanized.
