When Pia Kolhammar rested her dog in Huskvarna in February last year, two dogs tore themselves from a lamp post and attacked her dog Zelda.

Zelda lost two teeth and suffered injuries to her body.

When Pia was going to report to the police, she was referred to the county administrative board.

There they received her report and let it sit for around nine months before they started to investigate the incident.

The same thing happened to Marie-Louise Rosell.

Her dog Doris was attacked during a walk at Öxnehaga in Huskvarna.

She reported the incident to the county administrative board, which after ten months began to investigate the incident.

Never talked to the dog owners

Then the County Administrative Board settled for a letter to the dog owner with information on which rules a dog owner must follow.

The reported dog owners thus did not know that they had been reported during that entire time.

- They believed during all that time that they had done nothing wrong, says Pia Kolhammar.

Both women say they have lost confidence in the county board's actions in the case of dog attacks.

The County Administrative Board tells SVT Jönköping that they do not share that image, but that they can understand their frustration.

- I can understand their disappointment and we have done the best we can.

We lack sufficient resources for the assignment and therefore registrations have been lying around for so long.

What do you think of the criticism that a letter of exhortation is not enough after a dog attack?

- In many cases, this is sufficient as a measure.
