According to Angie, the victim’s aunt, the dog had a history of aggression. “Nakatali na po 'yun sir, nakakulong na po kasi meron na po rin 'yun nakagat na isang bata taga-dito lang din po sa amin. Doon po sa pinagtalian, parang naputol daw po ang tali noon kasi tumalon daw po sa tulay,” she explained, referring to how the dog managed to escape.
The dog's owner shouldered the medical expenses but declined to give a statement regarding the incident. The dog has since been secured once again.
Animal welfare experts reminded pet owners to ensure their pets are well-fed, properly sheltered, and restrained to prevent posing a danger to the public.
They also emphasized the importance of vaccinations, especially against rabies.
They further advised, “Agad magpagamot at magpabakuna kung nakagat o nasugatan ng hayop tulad ng aso o pusa para maiwasan ang sakit gaya ng rabies.”
