Two medium-sized dogs jumped from their owner's backyard onto a neighbor's lot and began behaving aggressively on Rua José dos Passos, in the Residencial Judith Cândido Andrade, in Lavras. The Corpo de Bombeiros (Military Firefighters) were called to capture them. Lieutenant Tiago described the case on Wednesday (11) during Revista da Cidade, on Rádio Cultura.
According to the officer, the animals were bull-type dogs, which many people call pit bulls. The team located the owners, who helped with the capture, and the dogs were returned home.
The lieutenant took the opportunity to warn pet owners. "The owners are fully responsible for what these dogs do," he said. He added that any attack or injury caused to people or other animals is the responsibility of the person who keeps the dog. If caught in the act, the owner can be cited for failure to take precautions and will have to answer for the damages.
