Report: Horse that died after dog attack found with wounds only to its lower legs
By TRACY X. MIGUEL
Posted March 12, 2010 at 3:15 p.m.
NAPLES — A Golden Gate Estates horse that was attacked by two dogs had wounds only on its lower legs, according to officials.
It was not immediately clear whether the horse bled to death from the wounds or died of other causes. The horse was also found bleeding from its nose and mouth, according to reports from the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.
“The horse reportedly ran into the woods and passed away there with some bite marks to the lower leg only according to investigators,” said Camden Smith, Collier County spokeswoman.
Domestic Animal Service doesn't know what caused the death of the horse, Smith said.
"No necropsy was done so cause of death cannot be determined," Smith said.
The horse was buried by its owner.
The horse’s owner, Kayla Thorn, 15, and Penny Packard, 59, who was riding with Kayla, reported finding a pool of blood the size of a dinning room table where the horse was found.
Around 7 p.m. Tuesday, Packard and Thorn, 15, rode their horses on 2nd Avenue Southeast in Golden Gate Estates when an American bulldog and a boxer started chasing after the horses, attacking and biting them. A struggle ensued between the animals. Kayla hung on as long as she could but was thrown from her horse, Dancer, as it tried to elude the dogs.
The dogs continued to chase the 25-year-old horse into a wooded area. Packard and Kayla took the other horse home.
Packard expected the horse to run home.
Law enforcement officials and the horse’s owners later discovered Dancer laying in the pool of blood. It had “small lacerations to the legs and hoofs of the horse,” according to police reports.
Billie Jo Herrera, the owner of two dogs said Friday she feels horrible.
"The tears aren't just for Charlie,” Billie Jo Herrera said about her American bull dog, which she plans to put down if it is determined to be dangerous. “I really feel bad for the girl,".
Herrera, who is disabled and uses a wheelchair, said she could not afford to pay the $300 per dog to keep the animals if they are determined to be "dangerous dogs" by Domestic Animal Services.
Her American bull dog was seized by animal services because it was loose when officials came to investigate the issue. The second dog involved in the incident, Princesa, a 2-year-old boxer that the family has had for eight months, is still in Herrera's home.
The 1 1/2-year-old American bull dog is a family dog raised among Herrera's seven children, who range in age from 2 to 15, she said.
"I know everyone in the world will consider Charlie a God-awful dog but he is not," said Herrera, 41. "You couldn't ask for a much better dog for my kids."
Packard said her horse farrier thought the dogs jumped up and bit an artery which caused the horse to bleed to death.
"These dogs are very aggressive," Packard said.
Both dogs need to be put down for the safety of the neighborhood, Packard said.
"These dogs are not lovable," Packard said. "They are vicious dogs that attack."
Packard said that the dog owner should have been responsible and controlled her dogs
The dogs in this story were originally identified as a boxer and pit bull.

Labs and blue heeler attack toddler (Semmes, AL)
Toddler Recovering After Dog Attack

SEMMES, Alabama - Three dogs are in quarantine at the Mobile Animal Shelter. The two labs and blue heeler look harmless, but Mobile County Animal Control says they’re responsible for a vicious attack. “The child was rushed to the hospital is doing fine the last thing we got it was about 160 stitches,” says Animal Control Officer Carmelo Miranda.
The family says three-year-old Madison Shelton was playing in the front yard Wednesday when the dogs started attacking her. She's at USA Children's & Women’s Hospital with her family. “The police are right now investigating the case, we have the dogs there and we're trying to figure out what decision we're going to be making on them,” says Miranda. County officials say this attack points to a larger issue--pet owners need to keep their pets confined.
“If you allow your dogs to run out and they get into packs these are things that can happen out there,” says Miranda. Madison's father says the little girl may leave the hospital in a few days. Mobile County Animal Control Officials say the dogs belong to a neighbor, James White. They say he's been charged with three misdemeanor counts of violating the county dog ordinance on running at large. They've also petitioned the district attorney to have the dogs declared dangerous.

Boxer mix bites woman, kills dog (Reno, NV)
Sparks dog attack victim is home recovering, public support sought (warning: graphic photos)

Last week, I reported on the case of a woman named Kristi in Sparks who was attacked by a neighbor's dog. (Read the original post here.) In the attack, her arm was bitten by the neighbor's dog, who was identified by animal control as a boxer mix. Also, one of her dogs was killed (the one who died is seen in the other photo), and another one suffered fractures and a punctured lung. I spoke with Mark, whose doorstep Kristi ended up on, screaming for help.Here are some updates from Mark:
Haven't had a chance to visit Kristi, she's at home recovering from a skin graft surgery and has two more days of immobilization to give her the best chance of healing. As a diabetic, healing is much more critical and challenging. ...We will be circulating fliers in the neighborhood this weekend including the [dog owner's] address (per city attorney Chet Adams) in the hopes of applying pressure to both the owner and the county. Finally got a response from Katy Simon at Washoe County who said animal control can't impound the dog until the hearing and I suggested they change that rule so neighborhoods can be safer. Said she'd check with Bob Larkin to see if he has a desire to initiate such a change. And here is a request that Mark emailed out to neighbors:
There is a public hearing at the Sparks Municipal Court on March 24th at 1:30 pm to determine the fate of this dog. As a fellow citizen and neighbor, please consider attending this hearing so your voice can be heard. Without public pressure this dog may be allowed to stay at home in our neighborhood. If you cannot attend, please email to us your letter of concern with your name and address and we will present it at the hearing. Please also consider warning all of your friends and neighbors of this dangerous animal. If it killed once, it can certainly escape and kill again.

German Shepherds attack small dog (Chattanooga, TN)
Man Must Pay Neighbor's $1,074 Vet Bill After Dog Attack
posted March 4, 2010
http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_170298.asp
City Judge Sherry Paty on Thursday ordered David Allen Shore to pay his neighbor's $1,074.69 vet bill after a dog attack.
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Kitchen testified that Mr. Shore's two German Shepherds attacked their dog Ginger last month.They said Ginger had so many bites on her that the vet had to shave her to find them all.
Judge Paty said if Mr. Shore wants to keep the two dogs he must insure that they don't get out again. He also must complete two obedience classes and get potentially dangerous dog tags from the McKamey Center.The Kitchens couple said they heard Ginger barking, then saw the German Shepherds running away after the "horrific" attack.
Mrs. Kitchen said the couple previously had a shitzu and it disappeared just before Christmas. She said they were called and told it had wound up on the Shore property with its throat cut.Mr. Shore said he does not believe his dogs killed the shitzu, but just brought it home after finding it dead.
Mr. Kitchen said the couple has a nine-year-old son "and we are afraid to let him out in the yard."He said the two dogs were seen running loose the next day after the McKamey Center came and got them. Mr. Shore went to the center and got them back within two hours.A McKamey officer said the dogs were not vicious toward her.Mr. Shore said they play rough with one another, but they otherwise are "the gentlest dogs in all the world."He said he has already bought fence materials and is working on keeping them within his five-acre property.He said of the attack on Ginger, "I am an animal person. This makes me sick. I had no idea."

GROVE, Okla., Oct. 14 (UPI) -- An Oklahoma boy received more than 100 stitches to his face and neck after being mauled by a Great Dane in a dog park during a pet event, police said.
Police said Troy Helms, 11, of Grove was attacked Saturday after falling during the Strut Your Mutt dog walk, sponsored by the Humane Society of Grove and Grand Lake, a private organization, the Tulsa World reported Wednesday.
The owner of the dog was cited by police.
"People don't realize how dangerous dogs can be," said Dave Helms, the boy's father.
"I saw the dog bite," Lori Follis, Humane Society vice president, told the World. "(The dog) clamped down on his face. He had his face and neck in his mouth. It was horrifying."
The dog was taken to an animal hospital, where authorities learned its rabies vaccination was not current, Grove City Manager Bruce Johnson said.

Boy attacked by Labrador mix (Port Angeles, WA)
Dog mauls 11-year-old Port Angeles boy

PORT ANGELES, Wash.
Police are scouring the city of Port Angeles for a dog that mauled an 11-year-old boy late Wednesday afternoon.
The dog is a 40- to 50-pound black Labrador mix.
The boy, who was at his home at 120 W. Fifth St. when he was attacked by his family's dog, was taken to Olympic Medical Center and then to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The name of the boy and his father are not yet available.
His neighbor, Kevin Talbot, who took him to the hospital, said he had been in contact with Harborview and that the boy was in good condition, but had needed several surgeries to repair the damage to his face and hands.
The boy's father was not home at the time of the attack, Talbot said.
Talbot informed the father of the attack when he returned home this morning.
In responding to the dog attack call, police found evidence linking the father to vehicle thefts, and he has since been arrested.
Police responded to the apartment complex at about 5:30 p.m. and after getting a search warrant for the apartment, where the dog still was, officers went in and caught the dog on a restraining pole, said Port Angeles Police Deputy Chief Brian Smith.
"We had captured the dog and taken it down the stairs only for it to break loose," Smith said.
"Earlier this morning, an officer saw it and pursued it and attempted to use his Taser on it, but the Taser missed, and unfortunately, the dog is still at large."
One prong of the Taser struck the dog but the other did not, so the electrical current was rendered useless, Smith said.
Smith said it was unknown whether the dog would react aggressively to other people or if the dog had been aggressive just toward the boy.
"Regardless of that, we are treating this as an aggressive dog," he said.
If anyone spots the dog, they should immediately call police at 360-452-4545 instead of trying to catch it themselves.

3-Week-Old Baby Mauled To Death By Dog
Siberian Husky Drags Infant Girl Into Hallway, Kills Her

A 3-week-old baby was dragged from a bed Monday afternoon by her family's Siberian husky and mauled to death in Bourbonnais.
Olivia Rozek was lying on a bed in the master bedroom of the home at 1614 Sun Ridge Dr. in Bourbonnais, about 30 miles south of Joliet, when she was taken from the bed by the family dog and dragged into a hallway.
The child's mother, hearing her daughter's cries, discovered the baby in the dog's grip, a release from Bourbonnais police said. Police got a 911 call at 5:45 p.m. reporting the attack.
Olivia was taken to a Kankakee hospital, then airlifted to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where she was pronounced dead at 11:55 p.m. Monday, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
An autopsy Wednesday found the girl died from craniocerebral injuries from dog bites and her death was ruled accidental.

Celebrity dog attack (Atlanta, GA)
Katt Williams Hit With $1 Million Lawsuit For Dog Attack
Posted: Wednesday - March 10, 2010 | Comments (0)

It looks like celebrities can't seem to stay out of troubles these days. Katt Williams has recently gotten himself into his own controversy with the law.
Last November, Katt was arrested for burglary and trespassing. He later faced a $230,000 lawsuit after being detained by police at a Wal-Mart the following month.
The comedian is being sued again after reportedly threatening to kill a man if he pressed charges on him for a dog attack.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution stated that recording studio owner, Marion Joseph Powers, has filed a lawsuit against Katt Williams claiming that the actor prompted his dog to bite him while he was working in the studio.
Court files claim that Katt and his bodyguards came to Powers' studio in October 2009, bringing along his dog. Allegedly, he demonstrated an "attack signal," instructing his dog to bite the other and leaving Powers' animal with injuries.
The studio owner says he agreed to meet with Katt in a hotel to discuss the situation in November, but was intimidated by Williams into not pressing charges. Powers claims he was forced to sit in a chair while Katt's dog was "snarling" at him. He also stated that the Katt held him against his will, and threatened to kill him.
Powers is demanding $1 million in damages for assault, property damage, internal infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment and battery.
The altercation is believed to have taken place the same day Williams' was interviewed by local news after being asked to leave Atlanta's Four Seasons Hotel.
Statements addressing these incidents have yet to be released.

The dog's breed was not specified in reports, but internet searching indicated that Mr. Williams owns a German Shepherd.
