The Menace Unleashed On the evening of the 21st, a yellow wild dog, approximately the size of a medium-sized dog, was reported near the south gate of Busan Citizen's Park. Alarming reports revealed a citizen's dog had fallen victim to a wild dog bite, sparking immediate concern.

Authorities on High Alert Busanjin-gu swiftly responded by setting up traps to capture the elusive dog and sending safety alerts to nearby residents. The wild dog, believed to have descended from Hwajisan Mountain, has become a recurring concern in the park over the past month.

Safety Precautions for Park Visitors In light of the escalating situation, residents are strongly advised to exercise caution when visiting the park. Here are essential safety measures:

1. Avoid Bending Down for Food: Dogs may perceive the nape of the neck as prey when picking up dropped food. Stay vigilant to prevent potential attacks.

2. Caution with Unfamiliar Dogs: Refrain from petting dogs, especially on the head, as it may evoke fear or aggression. Exercise caution, especially if a dog is not barking.

3. Scream for Help if Bitten: In the unfortunate event of a dog bite, scream for help to alert others, even if it may trigger the dog's instincts.

4. Beware of Aggressive Behavior: Dogs glaring without barking or exhibiting a "snarl" without bared teeth may signal aggression. Walk away slowly without running.

5. Dog Owner Responsibility: Dog owners are urged to subdue their dogs when growling at neighbors, avoiding actions that may inadvertently excite the dog.
