> The tragedy happened on Sunday in one of the buildings in Metallurgist highway in the city of Chelyabinsk. A 54-year-old man had a hypertension stroke, ER doctors arrived to save the man, but they failed to help him. A local police department informed, doctors could not approach the man because of the very aggressive and uncontrolled dog - a Staffordshire terrier. Police officers had to shoot the dog, but only after the owner (apparently, the patient’s wife) gave her written agreement to kill the animal. Unfortunately, too much time was wasted, and the doctors could not save the man.
