Tell us about the attack

On a Tuesday evening my son and I took my dog, a shepherd-corgi mix, for our evening walk to the park where we go every night. As soon as we got to the park a man came running up to me yelling “GET OUT OF HERE MY DOG IS LOOSE, SHE’LL KILL YOUR DOG PLEASE GET OUT OF HERE GO!” No sooner had I turned to leave than I saw this flash of white. It was a huge white pit bull making straight for my son. Our brave dog threw herself in front of my son. The pit just locked on to her and dragged her away so hard it yanked the leash out of my hand. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the sounds of her screams. The pit’s owner tackled it and punched it in the head until it let go of my dog. Unfortunately I didn’t stick around to get his info as my dog was hurt bad and I just rushed her to the emergency vet.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
I’ve been traumatized by this. Every time I hear a strange dog bark I jump and shake. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel safe walking my dog again.

Legal Consequences
The pit bull owner has not been located.

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
Just like bears or tigers or any other dangerous animal, pit bulls should not be pets.

Pit bull on flimsy retractable leash launches unprovoked attack in city park

Name: Christopher
Victim: Pet
Location: Walking in city park, Pennsylvania

Tell us about the attack

I was walking my pharaoh hound at Schiavoni Park in Hummelstown, PA when passing a couple with two leashed pit bulls. One of the pit bulls charged unexpectedly with no provocation and because the owner just had her pits on flimsy retractable leashes, she instantly lost control of it. It bit and tore my dog’s back leg which required surgery. I was very lucky that I wasn’t injured as well.

The owner tells me it was an accident and her pit isn’t dangerous. I said I beg to differ since your dog just attacked mine out of the blue for no reason.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
It’s a recent event so I’m sure there more issues to come for me and my dog.

Legal Consequences
In process.

The lack of protection that local and state government provide to the community is deplorable. Everything is down to me to report. There is almost zero help from the authorities.

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
The pit bull is a dangerous fighting breed. Yes, other dogs can occasionally though rarely be dangerous, but the proclivity to attack, the frequency and the physical damage that results from a pit bull “bite” is NOT the same as that of normal dogs.

This attack was unprovoked. Make sure you carry a weapon or object to protect yourself because you will be no match for a pit bull otherwise.

The mindless support of the pit bull breed and its aggressive behavior is an abomination.

Unleashed pit bull launches unprovoked attack on our lab

Name: Amanda S
Victim: Pet
Location: Cemetery park, Pennsylvania
Year of attack: September 2022

Tell us about the attack

We have a seven-year-old female lab that was attacked by a pit bull mix today on our walk. I did exchange information with the owners but their pit did a number on our lab. There is a police report filed. The lab was on a leash and the attacking pit bull was not and ran at our lab and proceeded to attack it with multiple bites. The lab ended up with bad bites to her elbow and snout. Unknown to us once it was examined at the vet she actually had one of her K9 teeth ripped out. Are there any resources available to bring this crime to light? I have sent photos of these horrible scene to you in Facebook messenger.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
I’m afraid to leave my house and walk my dog. Not to mention the PTSD I and my poor dog have.

Legal Consequences
Police report filed

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
Pit bulls are dangerous!

Pit bull causes severe, permanent damage

Name: JR
Victim: Adult, Pet

Tell us about the attack

My younger brother was walking with a girlfriend and her dog in a city park when an unleashed pit bull attacked. The girlfriend’s dog was killed by the pit bull. My brother needed to be taken to the hospital and will have permanent damage to his arm and hand.

As for me, I was attacked by a next door neighbor’s four pit bulls when they invaded by property and ran into my open garage. Luckily I did not have any injuries.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
Myself and my family are fearful of pit bulls and possible injuries they could cause. My little brother has expressed fear of all dogs as a result.

Legal Consequences
My brother’s case seems to have been largely forgotten. He has never received a penny for medical expenses or any victim compensation. No lawyer would take his case as the pit bull owner was a felon and had no money.

I have now reported my neighbor’s pit bulls to the police twice and have seen no consequences.

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
Pit bulls can be dangerous and have the strength and temperament to cause severe damage.

Pit bull attack in Bower Park, Red Deer, Alberta

Pit bull attack in public park

Name: N. S.
Victim: Adult, Child
Location: Outdoor city family park, Bower Park, Red Deer, Alberta
Year of attack: November 26th, 2021

Tell us about the attack

Yesterday my daughter and I went for a walk at about 7 p.m. to the Bower Pond in Red Deer, Alberta. We were close to the performing scene. Suddenly from the corner of the bridge from a long distance an American Amstaff pit bull terrier started to run very quickly at us. At first, my daughter didn’t see him and I covered her body with mine but when she saw it she started screaming. The pit bull pushed me down so hard that I couldn’t get up to help my child. The pit bull started to jump over my child trying to push her almost into the water. She was really close to falling but managed to stand on her feet. I screamed and only then did the owner command the pit bull back. I was scared and said to the owner that I would call the police, that you need to keep your pit bull on the leash close to yourself, but he turned the other way and didn’t apologize.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
I now really have emotional stress being outside in the park where I used to go for many years and never ever that happened to us. All dog lovers were keeping their dogs with leashes. In this pit bull attack, the owner didn’t say a word to stop it in time on the way to us.

Legal Consequences
The police they didn’t help me as my daughter was ok, her warm winter coat and mittens protected her from the pit bull’s bites. I still going to investigate this as unsafe animal control in the public places by reporting it to the Animal Enforcement.

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
If you see this guy in the Bower Park please let me know!!! He needs to be responsible for what he is doing, especially for the safety of families with smaller kids. I will appreciate any information.
