A homeowner in a town in Ravenna province was reportedly summoned to his local police station after an intruder claimed he was bitten by his dog.
Doing what all good guard dogs do, the Doberman bit the man as he tried to enter the property during the night, L'Eco Di Bergamo reported.
The story came to light through a local vet, Fabio Pansera, who wrote about his almost-burgled client’s misfortune on Facebook on January 28th.
“Yesterday a client of mine, who owns a Doberman, was summoned by the authorities because the night before, a thief tried to get into his house but was bitten by the dog,†he wrote.
“He has now reported the man and wants compensation for the bite straightaway.â€
Pansera then joked that maybe dog owners ought to be teaching their pets good manners – such as wagging their tails at trespassers or offering them some biscuits – because if they attack, then they could end up in serious trouble.
Journalists at L'Eco Di Bergamo followed up on the post with the vet, who confirmed the story.
“My client wants to remain absolutely anonymous and I respect his wishes,†he said.
“I can only say that he lives in a village near me and came to me after he was summoned for the dog bite.â€
The Local was unable to confirm the report with police in Bassa Romagna, where the homeowner reportedly lives.
Hopefully the dog doesn’t get sick.
If it was one of those muzzie refugee invaders then the poor dog is going to have to lick his ass to get the taste out of his mouth
This abuse of the law has to be fixed worldwide. Criminals should have no right to sue when they are injured in the commission of a crime, and only a liberal could think this makes any sense at all.
Oh, dear. Would that it were so.
There have been many cases in the UK of just that.
IIRC, one guy got something like a life sentence for rigging up a shotgun to kill an intruder.
What’s that joke with a parrot tells the burglar Jesus is watching you?
Hold the guy down, let the dog bite him multiple times more, and compare the new bites to the first one to be certain that the property owner’s dog indeed made the first bite.
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his pack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, “Jesus is watching you.”
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard,
“Jesus is watching you.” Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. “Did you say that?”, he hissed at the parrot.
“Yep,” the parrot confessed, then squawked, “I’m just trying to warn you.”
The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?”
“Moses,” replied the bird.
“Moses?” the burglar laughed. “What kind of people would name a birdMoses?”
“The kind of people that would name a Rottweiller Jesus.”
Next burglars will be asking for a ‘refund’ when they steal a broken TV.
Agreed. It's absurd.
