Nahfawi stated that “the shooter carried out her crime in a populated place, thus endangering public safety and in front of children, with an unlicensed weapon in her hands.”

And she continued, “We learned that the dog is very pet and does not attack anyone, and none of the residents objected to his presence in the neighborhood, so that the children of the murderer of the dog loved him.”

She added, “What happened is that about a month ago, the daughter of the abuser petted the dog and frightened him with a sudden cry. The dog responded to her as a natural reaction with an attack in which he injured her without any claim or complaint.”

Clinical psychologist Nicola Rizk considered : “The issue is a retaliatory reaction from a personality who is not aggressive and is together, and then the society’s view can become sympathetic to her because the Lebanese citizen often cannot take his right, and she regained her daughter’s right in her own hand. “.

He concluded by saying: “As for the mother, she believes that she has taken back her daughter’s right to this behavior, even if it was harmful.”
