The Story in Brief
A couple was severely mauled by a Pitbull while viewing a house in Patiala's Ghuman Nagar on Tuesday evening. Ankit Sabharwal and his wife Shifali, accompanied by a property dealer, rang the doorbell when the dog lunged at them. CCTV footage shows the animal biting Shifali's arm and other body parts, requiring surgery, and injuring Ankit on his legs and back as he tried to protect her.
Bystanders using sticks eventually pulled the dog off the couple, who remain under treatment at a private hospital. The viral video has renewed public anger about aggressive dogs in residential areas. Local police have not yet named the dog's owner or filed charges.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that this is just another 'aggressive breed' story misses the real issue: owners who cannot control their animals. That woman with a stick trying to fend off the dog was probably the neighbour, not the owner. The real test will be whether the Patiala municipal corporation inspects this household's compliance with the 2019 dog-breeding rules and, more pointedly, whether the owner will be charged for criminal negligence, not just a fine for a stray dog nuisance.
