A scooter ride along a quiet road in Changhua quickly turned into a frightening close call for one expectant mother. A black dog suddenly darted out at her from a factory while she was passing by. The dog barked at her and sent her swerving and nearly crashing. Ms. Wu, who is six months pregnant, was left shaken, and she says it’s far from the first time she’s been in such a dangerous situation. She’s contacted the police and animal protection authorities, which are urging the dog’s owner to better manage the animal.

A black blur suddenly approaches from the side. It’s a black dog barking and chasing after the scooter, causing the rider to almost fall.

The rider is Ms. Wu, who is six months pregnant. The video was taken on Sunday at Jiadian road in Changhua’s Hemei Township. She says she’s had at least ten such nasty encounters with the dog.

Voice of Ms. Wu
Was chased by dog
It was dark, and it’s a black dog. It suddenly came running at me from the factory.

Ms. Wu was terrified, fearing that she could fall off her scooter and injure herself and her unborn child. She reported the incident to the police, which told her they cannot handle the case, as nobody got injured. She then asked animal protection authorities to speak with the dog’s owner. Things were fine for a while, but the dog soon reverted to its old ways in recent days. Now, she’s resorting to a local councilor.

Maybe the woman hit it before, or pretended to hit it. So maybe the dog remembers that.

The dog owner says that although the dog chases people, it’s never bitten anyone. Our reporter went to the site, and found not one, but two dogs wagging their tails and acting cute for the camera.

Changhua animal protection official
We dispatched staff to investigate the site. In addition to assessing the care situation of the dogs, we also asked the owner to better manage them.

Based on video evidence, the dog owner is facing a fine of up to NT$15,000. He’s been ordered to make improvements within a specific timeline in hopes that the dog will stop causing panic to passersby.
