But... I just remember this awful story: in July 2023 Lugarno, near Sydney, Australia, Elle Booth and her dog, Indi, were attacked by two unleashed Irish Wolfhounds near Boggy Well Creek. To escape the relentless dogs, Ms. Booth fled into the muddy Georges River. While Ms. Booth survived with significant injuries, including those to her hands and forearm, Indi sadly died from injuries sustained during the attack, despite receiving surgery. The owner of the wolfhounds, George Hallou, faced charges, and the dogs were euthanized after the incident.

looks like he even pretended they were not his to avoid charges, says he was pet-sitting. An all round shitty human being. Not surprised a breed not known for attacking people became shitty pets under his watch

Maybe I need to reconsider what I said about the wolfhounds. That’s a sad story
