The video shows Mike frantically waving a metal rod at the three dogs, then the dog pack ran towards him, and finally they were scared away by a police car.
It is said that Mike rushed to protect his mother-in-law first when facing the ferocious dog pack.
His mother-in-law told the media that when Mike warned her to quickly return to the house, she was frightened and couldn’t believe what she saw, it was crazy and terrifying.
One of the victims, John Kitta, had his thigh bitten. He told the media: “I was cleaning the van, and three dogs suddenly appeared from the side of my house, then they barked at me,”
He added, “A neighbor chased them, he came out of the car and swung a golf club at them, and finally the dog pack left.”
It is said that these dogs are well-known to local police and residents because they have previously committed acts of violence. Currently, the dog owner is facing charges, as he previously told the judge that two of the dogs belonged to others.
Local police issued a statement on February 4th, stating that they received a call on February 3rd (Monday) afternoon about someone being bitten by dogs near Weniposeki Lake.
