9 Year Old Girl Killed by a Dog in Zamboanga.

     A 9 year old girl was walking home from school when a neighbor's dog broke its leash and attacked her. The victim was bitten in the neck and suffered severe injuries from the assault. She was rushed to the nearest hospital for treatment but she later died.

     The dog owner said it was not his fault that the dog broke its leash and attacked the girl. He said he made sure that the rope was strong enough to hold the animal and prevent it from doing any harm to anyone. Well, that's not enough. The mongrel broke loose and killed an innocent girl so it's still the fault of the animal owner.

     The killer dog is now in Police custody and animal experts are observing its behavior for signs of abnormality. The dog may be infected with rabies so veterinarians are keeping an eye on it. If the animal turns out to be rabid then it would have to be put to sleep. If it's not infected the authorities should put him in a shelter.

     Animal experts say that one should not flee or run when dog attacks you. Running away from it will make it more aggressive and further encourage it to bite you. When already bitten by a dog, don't try to pull, jerk and yank away your injured limb as the animal will be infuriated and bite harder. Experts said that the best thing to do when attacked by an animal is to protect your neck and throat and scream like hell for help!

     Easier said than done...If your not an animal expert and you're attacked by an animal, I don't think you can remember all that advise. How much more if your just a 9 year old coming home from school?...
