Cette habitante se promenait, ses deux petits chiens dans les bras, dans les rues du village de Cournonsec de bon matin. Elle a elle-même été mordue au coude par un berger allemand en divagation.

Corinne is still traumatized by it. On July 31, this resident of Cournonsec, a quiet village in the inner suburbs of Montpellier, experienced a real nightmare.

Around 7:20 a.m., she was quietly walking her two small dogs at the top of the village when a German shepherd suddenly appeared, completely free and without an owner. With her dogs in her arms, she didn't have time to understand that the mastiff had already grabbed one of the two, a chihuahua, and was devouring it. Despite Corinne's screams, no one came out, and the shepherd ended up killing his dog, despite the blows she gave him. She herself is bitten on the elbow, in the fight with the animal. She manages to leave while the aggressive dog follows her for a while and ends up going off on its own… towards the scrubland.

The owner of the animal identified

The owner of the animal identified, Corinne decided to file a complaint with the police. The town hall and the municipal police of the commune are already aware. In addition to this incident, which could have been even more serious, several residents have already complained about stray dogs, particularly in the scrubland above the areas where trucks and campsites are located illegally and often with large dogs roaming free.

This year, two other attacks have been reported on the path to the washhouse and towards the nursery. Not very reassuring.
