The court found the defendant guilty of two offenses: failing to exercise ordinary care with his dogs and neglecting their mandatory rabies vaccination. Although the defendant claimed the dogs belonged to his ex-wife at the time of the incident, the court rejected this defense based on witness testimony and the defendant's own admission that he owned and cared for the animals. Consequently, the defendant was sentenced to a combined fine of 400 zlotys for endangering public safety and animal health.
