Channel Nine reporter confronted by angry Yatala homeowner during dog attack coverage

Dramatic footage captured the moment when an angry dog ​​owner erupted into a foul-mouthed tirade after a TV reporter showed up outside her home.

Channel Nine reporter Abbey Geran visited Yatala, in south-east Queensland, on Wednesday.

She was on the ground and reported that two German Shepherds were seized after a local man and his beagle were ambushed during their walk.

Geran visited the property where the two dogs were seized before the homeowner came out to confront the reporter.

The house was also the scene of a horrific dog attack in April that left a toddler mauled and seriously injured.

“I’m not asking, get off my property,” the homeowner yelled.

The angry woman can be seen in the footage marching towards Geran and her face screaming.

The terrified reporter backs away as the woman continues to yell over her.

Richard Macdonald said he had been walking his beagle Snoopy down the street when the pair were confronted by the two German Shepherds.

The attack left Snoopy badly injured and the beloved pet required three layers of stitches on his hindquarters.

‘Pop! the two dogs were on top of Snoopy,’ Mr MacDonald said

“So they somehow got out.

Mr Macdonald said he and his pet were lucky to escape with no further injuries after the two dogs circled around them.

“I was afraid they would hurt Snoopy and I was afraid they would hurt me,” he said.

A passing motorist stepped in to rescue the pair as they gratefully scrambled into the safety of his vehicle.

The fate of the seized two German Shepherds has not yet been decided.

“I like dogs, I don’t like the thought of them being destroyed,” said Mr. MacDonald.

“I would like them to be held in such a way that they don’t threaten anyone who walks past the property.”

Four dogs, including German Shepherds and a French bullmastiff, were previously seized after an attack on a three-year-old girl on April 13.

The toddler had to be rushed to Queensland Children’s Hospital with wounds to her head and neck.

The animals were destroyed after they were confiscated by the municipality.

It is clear that the owner of the Gold Coast estate was a registered dog breeder and the grandmother of the child who was attacked.

Mr MacDonald and other neighbors had previously complained about the menacing behavior of dogs in the garden.

“They run for the fence, they’re very, very aggressive and if they got out you wouldn’t stand a chance,” MacDonald told Seven News in April.

Family friend Kurt Poole told reporters on Wednesday that the attack had come as a surprise, thinking they were “good dogs.”

Mr Poole said he understood the little girl had been accidentally injured by the dogs while they were playing amongst themselves.

He added that the child’s grandmother was “bewildered” about the incident.

The toddler mauling, which followed other similar dog attacks in Queensland, led the Queensland government to pass tougher laws in April to stop similar incidents.

Agriculture Secretary Mark Furner called an emergency meeting of the Dangerous Dogs Task Force before confirming several new penalties for pet owners.

He also revealed jail time would be considered, pointing to legislation in NSW and Victoria.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was shocked by the spate of vicious dog attacks.

‘Enough is enough. The responsibility lies with dog owners. They have a duty of care,” she said.

“They need to take responsibility for their pets and their pets’ behavior. I’ve also been sickened by reports of smaller dogs being attacked and often killed by larger animals while walking their owners.

‘We all need to feel safe in our own yard or on the street. It’s time to toughen up.’
