A guide dog trained to help blind people was stabbed by someone in a shocking incident.
As a 61-year-old man living in Saitama in Japan is blind, he normally goes outside with an eight-year-old male guide dog named Oscar. The man left his house on July 28 and took a train. Arriving at his office, a colleague noticed that Oscar was bleeding from the midsection.
There were three to four stab wounds one to two centimeters deep around the midsection. The wounds showed the dog may have been stabbed with a sharp-edged tool.
As guide dogs are basically trained not to bark, Oscar is believed to have endured the pain of the attack without doing so.
The man said, ”I feel guilty toward Oscar that I didn’t realize he had been stabbed.”
