Police officer points gun at dogs attacking owners
A Perth woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries after her two Rottweilers attacked her.
Police were called to the 31-year-old woman’s home in Success, Perth’s south, at around 4.30pm on Saturday.
An officer used his weapon to stop the attack because the dogs were “extremely aggressive” and the woman’s life was in danger, the Western Australia Police Force said.
