MANILA, Philippines - A woman bitten by a bomb-sniffing dog in a mall in Makati over the weekend has sought charges against the mall's security agency.

Virginia Hilario complained that the security agency employing the K-9 dog's handler has not paid for her hospital expenses amounting to P50,000.

Hilario sustained deep wounds in the face after being attacked by the dog.

"Kung may mangyayaring ganyan, alam nila yung necessary precaution, wag silang tumalikod sa responsibilidad nila," she told ABS-CBN News.

The Makati police said charges of reckless imprudence resulting in physical injury and violation of the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 will be filed against the security agency and the K-9 dog's handler. - Report from Gretchen Malalad, ABS-CBN News

I love dogs and I used to do this too but only for Labrador K-9s since it is inate for this breed to have good temperament. I won't be doing this anymore though after learning about this.

I wonder which mall.

langhiya... reckless imprudence? sino? yung aso o yung sikyu? pinalapa ba nung sikyu yung babae sa aso? amoy bomba ba yung babae kaya siya nilapa?

baka naman yung babae yung naging reckless. pakialaman ba naman ang asong di sa kanya, ganyang talaga ang mapapala. kahit sinong me alagang aso, alam kung papaano dapat kumilos sa ibang aso na di kanya.

I sympathize with this woman but there are lessons to be learned here:

1. Never try to pet a police or guard dog no matter how "cute" or friendly looking it might seem. It is not a pet but a work animal who is likely to respond only to its handler. It will consider a stranger as a threat.

2. Sue the hell out of the security agency if the attack was unprovoked.

3. News reporters should learn that "K9 dog" is redundant. K9 comes from the word "canine" meaning "dog". That's like saying "feline cat".

i agree with this, i have a friend that is a u.s. marine corps dog handler. one thing he told me is to never touch police/military dogs no matter how nice they are once it feels there is a threat it will attack. especially belgian malinois, they are very play full but are the quickest to attack. also kahit close friend mo yung hanlder wag na wag daw tatakbo papunta sa handler in any direction coming from, the dog will automatically be in defensive mode and attack once your in his range.
