Two children were attacked by a domestic dog in the Burgas complex Meden Rudnik yesterday evening around 7:00 PM.

The Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in Burgas specifies that the children are eight and nine years old. The incident happened near a residential building while they were playing. They were taken to the Emergency Center at UMBAL Burgas. There was a third child with them, who has no injuries.

The dog is domestic, taken for a walk without a muzzle by a 13-year-old from Burgas, due to his mother's poor health. Approaching the three boys, the animal broke free and bit two of the children on the arms and legs.

Two men responded to their shouts for help. The dog was handed over to its owners.
