vicious dog kill owner |
Why did a well-known docile dog end up being vicious to his owner? This is what people kept on asking themselves after an incident that has left the village in disbelieve.
It is not clear how the dog went on a biting spree, killing his owner and leaving the family wounded by dog-bites.
This incident happened on December 25, Christmas day, when the dog owner fed his friendly animal with certain African herbs that turned the dog into a dangerous domestic animal.
The reason behind this move was to avoid further loses of his hard-earned property from falling into the hands of thieves. Therefore, he thought that having a fierce dog is the best way to keep thieves away but with a minimum cost.
A rumour has it that the man acquired the said herbs from a Maasai medicine man with an intention of curing his headache. However, someone accidentally mixed the colourless concoction with dog food during feeding time and hence creating a problem that came to haunt the family after some hours.
Veterinary office in the village sent someone to take care of the dog and those injured were rushed to hospital for treatment as the family man will be buried later this week.
The police are still investigating the matter and are asking the public to come out with information that could help them identify the real cause of the family ordeal.
