The cowardly act of an animal hater shocks a small town in the Baden district. “Soxy” had swallowed a prepared treat and was struggling with death. The Bernese Mountain dog still suffers from the consequences today.
Bernese mountain dog “Soxy” has been fighting for her life since Christmas Day. During a walk with her owner Nina B. in Günselsdorf in the Baden district, the lovable and good-natured furry friend ate a poison bait that unknown animal haters may have laid out in the Wald- and Fasangasse area. They are said to have been ordinary, but prepared treats. Days in the veterinary clinic Shortly after “Soxy” ate the potentially fatal treat, B. noticed that something was wrong with her darling. She feared for the life of her four-legged family member for almost two weeks. “Soxy” had to spend the New Year in the veterinary clinic. A small ray of hope: the purebred dog has recently been back home. But she is still struggling with the long-term consequences. Due to the poisoning, both front paws are paralyzed. It is currently unclear whether and when the health condition will improve. The community warns of the danger with a leaflet. In the town of 1,800 people, there has been great excitement since the treacherous attack, and not just among pet owners. In response, the community took swift action. The residents were informed with a leaflet that there might be more poisoned bites on popular walking routes in the local area. “Of course, we reported the incident together with the dog owner,” emphasizes Mayor Alfred Artmäurer, who is horrified that animal haters are up to mischief in “his” Günselsdorf. “It is important to me to inform the population so that no more dogs unknowingly come into contact with poisoned bait. The warning about the danger is urgent and necessary,” the local politician is convinced.
