The incident took place in Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovsk region. A teenage girl walked with her Spitz dog, not even assuming that this walk would be the last for her pet. Stafford, walking nearby, attacked the child and bit the dog. The girl’s mother told about the terrible story that happened in one of the courtyards of the Dzerzhinsky district. According to her, the two Staffords with whom their neighbor walks are not the first time they have shown aggression and have long kept the whole district in fear. This time the dogs were again without muzzles, and one of them was even without a leash. “I shouted to my daughter to avoid these animals. She crossed the road, and at that time the dog, who was without a leash, rushed to catch up with them. The daughter, not at a loss, picked up our dog in her arms, but the forces turned out to be unequal”, – says the woman. The dog rushed at the girl, grabbing the sleeve of a winter jacket. After the fighting dog managed to snatch the little Spitz, clinging to his stomach. “The daughter was crying, the dogs were barking, Mickey was whining in pain. By the time I ran, it was already late. Everything happened in a matter of seconds. I beat this dog with my hands and feet, trying to rescue Mickey. Everything is useless, “the girl’s mother told. Little Mickey couldn’t survive the attack. In the veterinary clinic, the owners were informed that the wounds received were not compatible with life, and the dog had to be euthanized.
