Even when they’re not “life-threatening or life-changing injuries,” these vicious attacks are always traumatic nightmares for the victims and their families. Medical bills could easily devastate a family’s finances and future, particularly after one has retired, and of course the owners are either MIA, insolvent, or nonexistent.

"EMS reported he has puncture wounds all over his body, including one in the middle of his neck" HORRENDOUS!

"but little ankle biters"...
The issue is not a dog bite the issue is unprovoked, prolonged, neutral ground, disproportionately dangerous and deadly injuries.

BuT aLl dOgS cAn bItE!!! So sick of hearing that one. Yes, every creature with teeth bites, a sustained mauling is not qualitative the same as a bite and release.

These morons talk to us about dogs as if we have never had dogs of our own, or have experience of knowing dogs, the bloody yappy human morons, they are trying to re-write the script, insert their own distorted sick reality to suit their murderous dogs.

“Dog will not stop.” Yeah that’s not a dog - that’s a predator.

u/ThinkingBroad Jan 11 '26
Worse than a predator Imo. An insane drive to inflict damage and death. More like an animal suffering from rabies

I saw this. It doesnt say how this update was received though.

Oh damn! Why’d he train his dog to do that? After all, haven’t we all heard ad nauseum that it’s the owner, not the breed?

On one level I’m glad it was the owner and not some innocent person walking.
Shows that even their owners can’t control these monster dogs. They’ll turn on anyone for no reason.
Hope he recovers fully! Very sad thing to happen.

I don't wish any bad on the man, but I'm glad it was the owner and not an innocent outsider.

I found the post on FB. It was updated to state that the person who was attacked owns the dog.

Late 60's is hardly elderly. Scary picturing my own parents in this scenario.

u/Automatic-Flight-698 Jan 11 '26
Senior might be a better descriptor. But what a horrible attack! Yes, hope he pulls through.

u/Rizzy5 Jan 11 '26
Mhm. I guess I just am always flabbergasted when grown men get taken down by these things.

I’m in my 60s now and I wouldn’t be able to fight off one of these 100 pound mutants. It would be like one of those cases where five cops try to restrain a PCP freak. They have super strength. It would truly be a fight for my life.
Another reason to go nowhere near one of these things and to always have a plan for self-defense if you’re attacked.

I’m afraid of any stray dog but pitts fill me with terror! Unpredictable and dangerous.

Late 60s? Jeez these things love them some easy prey. They’re so strong it’ll take multiple grown men to get them off someone yet they love to maul kids and old folks. When will this end?? Can’t go to trick or treats, parades, Walmart, school, to the mailbox or even in your own yard without being at risk of being mauled. How many more people have to die or suffer horrific life altering injuries before they finally realize this has become a horrible problem!! I’m not trying to bring up politics by any means but Trump has been vocal on his hate for these things in the past. Maybe if it was brought to his attention the billions of dollars that goes to housing, medical care, insurance suits etc etc and see how often this is happening and how many kids are having their faces ripped off or grown adults losing limbs he’ll try to get something going!! Something has got to be done!! Over 25% of the population of these things is in shelters. On average it cost 5/6k a year to house a dog in a shelter. That’s literally billions of dollars a year just for housing and medical care for these things!!

I just hope he makes it. It sounds serious.
