3-Year Old Brutally Attacked By Rottweiler

3-Year Old Brutally Attacked By Rottweiler

06 Mar 2012 by Albi P in Crime

A Cape Town toddler is in critical condition after being attacked by a Rottweiler while he was walking with his stepfather in Belhar.

On Sunday, 3-year old Lincoln Nimmerhuidt was on his way to the doctor with his stepfather to receive treatment for chickenpox. En route they passed Perseverance Secondary School where a Rottweiler was on guard. The canine rushed the toddler without warning and grabbed him by the neck, mauling him and attempting to drag him into the school’s premises.

“It grabbed him by the back of the neck and would not let go of him. I threw myself on to it but it did not want to bite me,” stepfather Uzent Links told the [Cape Times].

Lincoln was admitted to hospital and underwent surgery for injuries to his face, head and body. He is in a serious but stable condition.

According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer November Filander, the dog has since been put down by the SPCA and a case of “letting a dangerous dog stray” has been opened against the unnamed security company that was responsible for the dog.

This is third case in recent months of a Rottweiler attacking a toddler without provocation, “dog-whisperer” James Lech’s canine the guilty party in the previous two cases. Last month also saw a pensioner attacked by a Pit Bull without provocation.

  So sad that these magnificent dogs are receiving such a bad name due to their OWNER’s failings. In this case, if you read the full report elsewhere, the dog was chained up in the school by an unlicensed security company. No doubt it was also never properly socialised (esp with children) or trained. I would also bet good money it was not a purebred or KUSA registered (there are temperament requirements in these cases). One need only look into the history of the breed to see that it is NOT inherently vicious and stability of character is, in fact, its central characteristic.

  They (and Pitbulls) seem to be the dog breed that has the most bad owners. This makes sense as to why they attack humans so brutally more often in SA. Been in their jaws twice, without provocation
