The owner of the killed dog stood in front of the BNT camera and in tears told us about the tragic incident. She does not want to show her face because she is afraid of the pit bull's owner. On Monday afternoon, Maria came home from a walk with her pet pinscher. They were attacked in the back by a pit bull without a muzzle, and the incident took place a few metres from the Lyuben Karavelov Elementary School.

"Suddenly my dog screamed and I saw this ugly killer pit bull biting him from behind. Everything was covered in blood..." Maria said.

The pinscher died on the spot. The pit bull was on a leash but without a muzzle.

"He knocked me to the ground too. The back of my body is bruised and sore. He was dragging me," Maria further said.

The owner of the aggressive dog then fled, dragging the dead pinscher as well. Maria has reported it to the police and has been issued a medical certificate for injuries to her legs and arms. The owner of the pit bull has not yet been identified.

"Quite a bit of resources were involved from the police in the investigation of this crime. Hopefully by the end of the day the person who was walking the dog without a muzzle will be found. There are several owners of such dogs in the area. We are finding out exactly who it is," explained Senior Commissioner Vladimir Marinov, Director of the Burgas Police Department.

The case will be reported to the District Prosecutor's Office in Burgas.
