This happened right before her parents at about 1:30PM after which Alaruh was rushed to the hospital

And while everyone was tending to Alaruh, one of the neighbors, Anthony Dear, found and locked Joop in his garage

"He wasn't aggressive or anything. I don't know why it snapped down there", Dear commented when asked in an interview

Afterwards, the dog was seized and taken by Rangers arriving from the City of Port Adelaide Enfield Council

Even though the dog has till now proven to be quite friendly, he has been kept under careful observation to better understand what caused the freak accident

This is yet another example of how inadequate training can cause unpredictable outbursts of emotions in 'man's best friend' and also how essential it is to keep an eye on your family dog and kids when together
