A woman who was attacked by a shepherd dog in June 2018 in Reigersbos, Amsterdam-Zuidoost, was awarded €16,000 in compensation. The dog ran toward her and her Jack Russell after which she lifted her own dog above her head for protection. The shepherd dog then attacked her, causing bite and abrasion injuries to her back and right arm. She later developed PTSD and has permanent scarring.

The dog's owner argued that the woman had provoked the attack, but the judge rejected that argument, saying she could not have known how the shepherd dog would react and that the owner was responsible for the damage. The compensation includes €11,000 for non-material damage. The dog has since been surrendered and is now in Morocco.
