Dogs attacks have increased in two-thirds of Melbourne’s council areas since 2018, with dog trainers attributing much of the problem to pandemic puppies growing up post-lockdown into poorly-adjusted dogs lacking in training.
Charlie suffered internal injuries and had muscle torn from his ribcage when the attacking dog broke free of its lead, surged at Charlie and picked him up in its jaw leaving him with four serious bite marks on his body. The owners of the staffy paid for Charlie’s vet bills and told Hendriksen they would use a muzzle in public from now on. The attack was reported to authorities at the council and will eventually be heard in a magistrates court.
