A scooter ride along a quiet road in Changhua quickly turned into a frightening close call for one expectant mother. A black dog suddenly darted out at her from a factory while she was passing by. The dog barked at her and sent her swerving and nearly crashing. Ms. Wu, who is six months pregnant, was left shaken, and she says it’s far from the first time she’s been in such a dangerous situation. She’s contacted the police and animal protection authorities, which are urging the dog’s owner to better manage the animal.
A black blur suddenly approaches from the side. It’s a black dog barking and chasing after the scooter, causing the rider to almost fall.
The rider is Ms. Wu, who is six months pregnant. The video was taken on Sunday at Jiadian road in Changhua’s Hemei Township. She says she’s had at least ten such nasty encounters with the dog.

Was chased by dog
It was dark, and it’s a black dog. It suddenly came running at me from the factory.
Ms. Wu was terrified, fearing that she could fall off her scooter and injure herself and her unborn child. She reported the incident to the police, which told her they cannot handle the case, as nobody got injured. She then asked animal protection authorities to speak with the dog’s owner. Things were fine for a while, but the dog soon reverted to its old ways in recent days. Now, she’s resorting to a local councilor.

Maybe the woman hit it before, or pretended to hit it. So maybe the dog remembers that.
The dog owner says that although the dog chases people, it’s never bitten anyone. Our reporter went to the site, and found not one, but two dogs wagging their tails and acting cute for the camera.

We dispatched staff to investigate the site. In addition to assessing the care situation of the dogs, we also asked the owner to better manage them.
Based on video evidence, the dog owner is facing a fine of up to NT$15,000. He’s been ordered to make improvements within a specific timeline in hopes that the dog will stop causing panic to passersby.

“因為天色是暗的,那牠又是黑色的狗,說真的,牠是突然從他們廠區,突然跑出來這樣”
這名孕婦心驚膽跳,擔心,萬一真的因此摔車受傷,腹中胎兒後果恐怕不堪設想。她曾經向警方報案,但警方卻無奈表示,沒人受傷,無法受理,只能請動保所勸導飼主。飼主雖然一度改善,但狗狗近期又本性不改。她只好轉向民代陳情。

“可能是曾經有打過牠,或是比過(打的動作)牠,可能(狗)記得”
飼主解釋,狗狗雖然會追人,但從沒咬過人,記者重回現場,兩隻當事狗還對鏡頭搖尾巴、賣萌裝可愛。

“本所今日已派員前往現場查處,除釐清犬隻飼養狀況外,亦要求飼主妥善管理犬隻”
動防所依據影片確認追人屬實,將對飼主開罰,最高1萬5千元罰鍰,並要求限期改善,希望飼主能真正落實管理,別再讓民眾心生恐懼。
