According to JTBC on the 21st, Ms. A, a woman in her twenties, visited a dog cafe in Goyang on the 27th of last month when the incident took place. In the released CCTV footage, several large dogs are seen rushing at Ms. A as soon as she opens the entrance door and steps inside.

During the incident, one fierce dog bit Ms. A's leg, and when she fell to the ground, the dog dragged her, continuing the attack. As other fierce dogs joined in, the situation quickly worsened. Acquaintances and staff present at the scene attempted to intervene, but it has been reported that the dogs were not easily controlled.

Four Weeks of Recovery and PTSD Diagnosis

As a result of the attack, Ms. A suffered severe injuries to her leg and head, was diagnosed with a four-week recovery period, and underwent suturing surgery. Ms. A stated, "I truly felt like I was going to be killed by the dogs," and added, "It has been two weeks and I still have difficulty walking."

The psychological trauma is also significant. Ms. A is exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and is expected to require at least six months of psychiatric treatment. She confessed, "Every time I look at my wounds, I keep remembering that moment," and "I often have nightmares about being chased by a pack of dogs."

Dispute Over Responsibility for Safety Management

A dispute over responsibility for safety management has also arisen following the incident. The cafe claims that because the facility also serves as a training center, Ms. A entered of her own accord while being aware that fierce dogs were present.

On the other hand, Ms. A argued that there were no clear notices or warnings about the presence of fierce dogs, and that basic safety measures such as leashes or muzzles were not implemented. According to the Enforcement Rules of the Animal Protection Act, facilities that keep fierce dogs are required to post warning signs and install accident prevention measures.

Ms. A has filed a legal complaint against the dog cafe owner and staff on charges of occupational negligence resulting in injury. The police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
