This investigation focused on an incident in a village in the Upper Valais region of Switzerland. A child was seriously injured in a dog attack. The animal is a former army dog belonging to a police officer. Despite the attack, the dog is allowed to live – very close to the child. This has sparked reactions. Now, the law is being changed in the canton of Valais.
