In the southern part of the English Garden it is expressly forbidden to “let dogs run free; anyone who takes a dog with them must do so in such a way that other users are not endangered, harmed or harassed,” it says Parking regulations. But this is violated again and again, reports the police. A problem also for those who have to ensure safety and order in the park. Especially for the mounted officers of the equestrian squadron. An aggressive dog running loose seriously injured one of the service horses on Wednesday morning.
Around 10 a.m. two policewomen rode through the English Garden with their service horses. Suddenly an off-leash Miniature Bull Terrier rushed towards the horses. The officers wanted to ride away, but the dog followed the horses. Suddenly the bull terrier, whose small form is not classified as a fighting dog, bit the gelding “Dior” in the leg. The horses galloped away and the aggressive dog was shaken off.
The 19-year-old police horse suffered bite wounds on one leg as a result of the attack. The Bavarian Warmblood was treated by a veterinarian and then taken to an animal hospital. According to police, despite the severity of the injuries, there is a good chance that your four-legged colleague will recover completely and be able to return to work.
The dog owner, a 25-year-old from Munich, took her bull terrier. The Munich traffic police have started the investigation. According to the police, legal violations by the dog owner are now being examined.
