<Anchor> A
woman in her 50s who was picking herbs in Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do was bitten by a big dog and died. The police are investigating who the owner of the dog is based on the words of the residents who have been around the town for a few days.
This is Hong Young-jae.
<Reporter> A
white dog drooping on the floor after being hit by an anesthesia gun.
It is believed to be a mixed breed of Poongsan dog and Samoyed, which is native to Siberia. It is 1.5M long and weighs 30kg.
This dog bit the 59-year-old A, who was picking vegetables in a hill in Jingeon-eup, Namyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
[Neighboring residents: (neighbor) He said he brought his wife. Carry herbs. Ayu is so sad.]
A, who had fallen down, was taken to the hospital when a passerby called for 119, but he died due to severe bleeding.
The 119 crew found a dog near where Mr. A fell, and fired an anesthetic gun to hold it.
A nearby CCTV video showed Mr. A being bitten by a dog.
There is an illegal dog farm near the site of the accident, and some have speculated that it was a dog that escaped the area, but residents say it was a dog that had been haunting in the neighborhood a few days ago.
[Neighboring residents: My wife played with me. The dog and the dog said'Ilo and Ilo', so I
went over there
.] The
owner of the dog farm also denied that it was not the dog he was caring for during a police investigation.
[Namyangju Northern Police Station Staff: (Assault Dog) They are different from farm dogs. Looking at the farm, I wonder if there is a part that is difficult to say that it was released on the farm. That's why we are investigating in many ways.] The
police are investigating who the owner is, even considering the possibility that an outsider left the dog.
As soon as the police investigation is over, the dog is expected to be handed over to the city hall and killed.
