The dog caught her hand in its jaws, dragging her to the ground. Despite her desperate attempts to free herself and the owner’s repeated efforts to pull the dog back, the animal refused to let go.
In a shocking incident caught on CCTV, a woman out for a routine morning walk in a residential society on Golf Course Road, Gurugram, was viciously attacked by a pet dog. The attack occurred around 7 am on Sunday, leaving the woman seriously injured and in a state of shock.
The woman, dressed in a red T-shirt, was walking along the society’s footpath when a Husky breed dog—being held on a leash by its owner—suddenly lunged at her. The dog caught her hand in its jaws, dragging her to the ground. Despite her desperate attempts to free herself and the owner’s repeated efforts to pull the dog back, the animal refused to let go.
According to CCTV footage, other morning walkers were present in the area, but only a few rushed to help. One or two bystanders tried to kick the dog, which eventually loosened its grip, allowing the woman to be rescued.
The woman was immediately taken to a hospital, where she received primary treatment. She is reported to have suffered serious injuries to her hand and is currently recovering at home. Though the traumatic event has sparked outrage among residents, no police complaint has been filed by the victim so far.
Despite being on a leash, the pet was able to break free and attack, raising questions about the safety protocols followed by pet owners in high-density residential areas.
This is not the first time Gurugram has witnessed such incidents. In recent years, several cases of pet dog attacks have emerged across the city, leading to growing concerns over responsible pet ownership and the enforcement of municipal guidelines related to pet behavior in public spaces.
Authorities have yet to respond to the incident formally, but residents are urging stricter regulations for aggressive dog breeds and mandatory training for owners to prevent such attacks in the future.
Recently, in a dangerous turn of events, a pit bull bit an 11-year-old boy in an auto in Mumbai, after its owner tried to scare him with his dog.
On July 17, the boy was playing in an auto-rickshaw with his friends in Mankhurd when they got excited upon spotting the dog and started shouting, “Pit bull!”
The dog’s owner, identified as Sohail Khan, entered the auto with the pit bull, prompting all the children to flee in fear. However, the victim was unable to escape in time.
