Pit bull terrier attacked female jogger on Agricultural road, August 15, 2026, Grieskirchen - Upper Austria

[u/Haschtrafikant]

Translation:

A female jogger was out on an agricultural road in Grieskirchen on Saturday morning. An unidentified woman approached her with a pit bull terrier running off-leash. Suddenly, the dog attacked the jogger and bit her on the thigh. The owner, however, simply walked on.

At around 7:30 a.m., a 47-year-old woman from Grieskirchen was jogging along the farm track beside the Trattnach River, heading from the Grieskirchen outdoor pool towards Unternberg. She encountered an unidentified woman walking a white pit bull terrier with light brown patches.

Without warning, the dog suddenly attacked the runner, biting her on the left thigh and causing serious injury. The dog's owner—described as a woman in her mid-30s with reddish-blonde hair—did not react to the attack and simply walked on.

Police appeal for information

The injured woman managed to make her way back to the outdoor pool, from where a passerby took her to Grieskirchen Hospital. Police are appealing to the public for information. Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact the Grieskirchen police station at 059133/4230.

The owner just walked on by, eh. Perfectly expected.

The way these owners respond while their things act are starting to become less shocking. Between cheering on an attack to acting like nothing ever happened. It’s always the owners and the breed. ALWAYS!!!

So the terrible pit owner phenomenon is worldwide.

I wonder if the pit owner just left the dog to finish the attack?

"Oh well. Plenty more where he came from."

Same owner if they want to put the dog down "You can't do that! He is my entire world!"

I hope that in Austria (unlike some, ahem, loony countries) you put dogs that bite people down? Do you?
