Synopsis
Spoiler shield

A man runs down a street, and reads in the newspaper about two Rottweilers who mauled a man. Shortly after he steps in fresh dog poop and is barked at by a small dog. When he sees a Doberman locked in a car it annoys him. But the dog can break the half-open car window, and the hunt begins.
