At the
evening of yesterday, a girl of eight years old was attacked by a man that
tried to rape her when she was alone in her house. Thankfully, the dog of her
house avoids the crime by biting the aggressor. This happened in Punta Arenas,
right after the mother of the little girl left her alone in her home because
she had to go to the kindergarten to look for her brother.
After the
attack, the mother took the girl to the medical center to find out if the rape
happened or not, and the results of the exams showed that the crime didn’t get
to an end, thanks to the dog.
According
to the Brigade Investigating Child Sexual Offences and PDI of Punta Arenas, “We
are working to get biological evidence that allow us to recognize the identity
of the man in question. Soon we'll know what happened”.
In my
opinion, this news is something unbelievable. First of all, the rape against a
little girl of eight years is something that in our society, and in the entire
world, shouldn’t happen. I can´t believe that nowadays this kind of crime is
naturalized by all of us. Every day we watch or hear news like this.
But in
other way, I think that this news can help to assess even more our pets, or in
this case, the dogs. The hero is a dog. They defend us, they love us, and they
are even more trustfull than humans, and this news represents all of that.
