Boy severely bitten by dogs in Rhineland-Palatinate; authorities order leash and muzzle, consider removing animals

An 11-year-old boy was hospitalised after being bitten by at least one Bernese mountain dog in Höheinöd, Rhineland-Palatinate. Local authorities immediately ordered a leash and muzzle requirement for the four dogs involved and have launched an assessment that could lead to the animals being permanently removed from their owner.
