A stray sheepdog caused terror in Dailaki, Kastoria, when it attacked and bit two 8-year-old children who were playing outside the yards of their homes, on the afternoon of Sunday, August 25, 2024.

According to information from ERT, the large dog that has been in the area for some time, often had an aggressive nature towards the residents but had not bitten anyone until Sunday afternoon, when it attacked two small children who were playing carelessly at the site.

Initially, the dog bit the 8-year-old in several parts of his body, and then managed to attack and bite his friend as well.

Residents, as well as the mother of one child, ran to the scene and chased the dog away from the children, who were immediately transported in a state of shock to the Kastoria General Hospital, where they were given first aid.

The father of an eight-year-old filed a lawsuit against everyone responsible and the competent service of the Municipality of Kastoria was informed to collect the animal, but they were unable to trap it.

The day after the incident, the wild sheepdog seems to have also attacked an elderly woman, who fortunately did not manage to bite.
