The man from Leskovac literally collapsed in his yard 15 seconds after the unfortunate event, the doctors who arrived performed resuscitation on the spot, but did not manage to help him, reports Informer.

"About ten of us in the neighborhood tried to restrain the raging dog, to deter him from the attack, but we didn't succeed. What's worse, this is not the first time that this dog has attacked passers-by in the street, and we now fear letting children out of the yard," says Milan Djordjevic, an eyewitness to the event.

According to Djordjevic, the police were immediately informed about everything, and they searched for the dog in the presence of communal services, but it has not been found yet.

Despite having two shelters for dogs, one in Zeljkovac and another improvised one in Turekovac, Leskovac is constantly struggling with stray dogs.

Authorities are mostly defending themselves by saying that they are powerless because more and more owners simply abandon their dogs. while strays are being brought to the town from other municipalities as well.

Only three months ago, a pack of about 30 stray dogs attacked teenagers in the center of Leskovac, as neighbors ran barefoot out of their homes to defend them.
