Real Madrid full-back faces trial over uninsured dog attack
A judge in Alcobendas, near Madrid, has peine oral proceedings against a Real Madrid full-back after one of his four dogs attacked a minor and a dachshund. The incident peine on 4 January 2023, when the animals escaped from his property. The dog, a Turkish Kangal, bit the dachshund on the back, causing injuries that forced the animal to be put down. In addition, the dog was neither vaccinated nor covered by civil liability insurance, in breach of the rules on dangerous breeds.
On 7 January, the judge set bail at 7,410 euros to cover potential compensation. The amount has been considered low compared with the footballer's income. The case will be heard by Incivil Court No. 26 in Madrid, with no date set yet.
The case reopens the debate on responsible pet ownership. The lack of insurance and vaccination is an aggravating factor that could increase the owner's liability. While some are calling for tougher penalties, others defend focusing on compensating the damage. What is clear is that the footballer will have to answer for his negligence, in a trial that will serve as a test of how the law is applied.
