Dog bites Dülmener in parking lot – owner escapes! Witnesses wanted!
On October 25, 2025, an incident occurred in Dülmen that once again brought the risks of dog bites into the spotlight. At around 11:50 a.m., a 43-year-old man was bitten by a dog in the parking lot of a bakery on Münsterstrasse. Fortunately, the Dülmener only suffered minor injuries, but the incident raises questions about the responsibility of dog owners.
Like that wn.de reported that the owner of the apparently medium-sized, black and white dog accepted his responsibility only half-heartedly. Although he apologized, he fled towards Hochfeldstrasse when the injured party wanted to inform the police. The description of the owner shown shows an approximately 60-year-old man with half-bald hair, gray hair and a gray stubble, who was accompanied by a man and a woman at the time of the crime.
Social implications
In view of the incident, it becomes clear how important it is to make dog owners aware of their responsibility for their animals. A look at the statistics shows that around 4.5 million people in the USA are bitten by dogs every year - a frightening finding that can also be applied to the conditions here. Petradar highlights that most bites, particularly in the summer months, come from dogs known to the victims, often children.
The Dülmen case shows that responsible dog ownership and preventative behavior are crucial. The Dülmen police are accepting information about this incident on 02594 / 7930 and are urgently looking for witnesses who can help clarify the matter. The owner is urged to come forward to clarify the incident.
Prevention is everything
In order to avoid similar incidents, experts in the field of dog psychology recommend taking a closer look at the animals' body language. The press portal reports that many dog bites are caused by fear or stress. It is therefore essential to provide dogs with sensitive training and to teach children how to treat these animals with respect.
Overall, the incident remains a wake-up call for all dog owners. Social interaction with dogs requires not only love, but also responsibility and attentiveness - not only for your own animal, but also for the environment. A good hand in training and understanding dogs' warning signals can make a decisive contribution to significantly reducing the number of dog bites.
