A 60-year-old man was attacked by stray dogs while jogging in Goritsa, near Volos. Five large shepherd dogs surrounded him, and one bit him on the left leg, causing an injury. The man was in a remote area without help and managed to get away on his own. He was taken to Achillopouleio for first aid and was given antibiotics. The man blames the shepherd for negligence, as he left the fence of the sheepfold open, allowing the dogs to attack passersby.
