Wolfratshausen – In the nature reserve on the Isar, dogs should only be kept on a leash. Because they ignored this provision of the district office, a woman (39) and a man (53) from Wolfratshausen got into trouble with the judiciary. They had to answer for negligent bodily injury: A walker (52) had been bitten by the four-legged friends.

Dogs attack walkers on the Isar - without a leash in the nature reserve

In exchange for a payment of 250 euros each to the animal welfare association, the proceedings were discontinued. The incident occurred on December 6 last year at around 15:30 p.m. in the nature reserve near the Waldram school. According to his own statement, the victim had been walking in the Isar floodplains, listening to a podcast with headphones on his ears, when he "noticed out of the corner of his eye that a black and white dog rushed towards me and bite me in the lower leg". Shortly thereafter, a second dog – "looks like a wolf, is of a different caliber" – rushed towards him and also bit him, "in the thigh". Ten to twelve bites are said to have suffered the attacked. While he had kicked the dogs, the man and the woman had followed their animals "at a leisurely pace". "If I had fallen, it could have ended really badly," the victim ended his testimony in court.

Walkers attacked by dogs - pet owners are on trial

In the medical report, only two "superficial" bites were documented, which had healed without consequences. "It was wrong not to leash the dogs," the 39-year-old, who described her dog as "young and cheeky," apologized to the victim. "But we could have arranged it differently. They could have talked to me." However, there was no way to do so, as the man next to her in the dock emphasized. "The gentleman could not be reassured, he was completely beside himself," said the 52-year-old.

250 euros to animal welfare association: proceedings against dog owners have been discontinued

"You have to leave the church in the village. If you behave normally, nothing happens. But he rotated his arms, screamed. We are confronted with such situations more often." However, the defendant denied that the two dogs had ever bitten. "Well, I'm just letting myself be pinched," the woman affirmed. "Otherwise, things would have turned out differently."

"Don't get hung up on biting," replied Judge Helmut Berger. "Pinching or scratching would be enough, I don't like that either." The injured party stated that he had no interest in punishing the dog owners. It is enough for him "if it is achieved that something like this cannot happen again". Since the incident, she has been "eagerly training with the dog," the woman explained. Both defendants claimed to have learned from the incident and are now putting the dogs on a leash. The judge waived a conviction and suspended the case for the time being. In return, the accused must each pay 250 euros to the animal welfare association Wolfratshausen-Geretsried.
