Attacked and injured by a large dog while passing on a public road. This is what happened in recent days in Ulassai to an elderly woman who encountered the animal without the devices required by law.

The lady, who got into a fight with the dog, was injured in both her arms and legs, but also reported some injuries to her head which, initially, raised fears of possible complications.

The woman, in light of her critical condition, went back to the doctor who suggested further checks at the Lanusei hospital, where she had been treated immediately after the attack.

The carabinieri of Jerzu's company are investigating the matter.

In the town of Tacchi, what the pensioner fell victim to was not an isolated incident, so much so that the presence of the powerful animal on the streets of the town caused concern among the residents.

"The situation is being examined," confirms the mayor of Ulassai, Giovanni Soru. "We hope that similar events will never happen again", is the hope of the mayor.
