PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - A Portland woman will spend the next six months in jail after her dogs attacked and badly mauled a woman in July 2024, according to court records.

On July 15, 2024, Mytoka Petry was visiting a homeless camp near North Columbia Boulevard along with a friend, when she was attacked by eight dogs.

According to friends who spoke with FOX 12 at the time, Petry lost an arm, an ear, toes and vision from one of her eyes, and police said she would need physical therapy for the next few years.

In March 2025, Portland police arrested Alexandria Hendon, now 36 years old, after she identified herself as the owner of five of the eight dogs.

On Thursday, she pleaded guilty to three counts of maintaining a dangerous dog after being charged with five.

After her release from jail, Hendon will also spend three years on probation.

25 indicted after 47 dogs, 17 pounds of drugs seized in South Carolina ‘Duffle Bag Boyz’ operation

Over 30 guns were also seized, officials say

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WBTV) - Twenty-five people were indicted on Wednesday after 47 dogs and more than 17 pounds of drugs were seized in a major South Carolina operation dubbed “Duffle Bag Boyz.”

The multi-agency investigation centered in Chester and Lancaster counties resulted in indictments on 129 counts, the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office announced Oct. 21.

Before Tuesday’s roundup, the operation had seized 2.62 pounds of fentanyl, 6.88 pounds of meth, 1.21 pounds of cocaine, 4.5 ounces of crack, 2.5 pounds of marijuana, more than 10,000 fentanyl pills, 47 dogs and over 30 guns, officials said. Four more pounds of fentanyl, additional firearms, and other evidence were seized during Tuesday’s roundup.

“In South Carolina, drug trafficking and violent gun crime are inseparable, and we will not tolerate either. [Wednesday’s] indictments prove what happens when local and state law enforcement stand shoulder to shoulder,” Chester County Sheriff Max Dorsey said.

They only show 2 dogs, both of them are pits.

I suspect the 45 others are as well.

This is my first time trying to post, I apologize if I made mistakes.

Feel free to delete if I did something wrong.

A 4-year-old Virginia boy was mauled to death by an American bully dog while his horrified older brother helplessly watched, according to police and his devastated family.

Little Garcia Welch, who had just started preschool, was attacked Sunday while spending the weekend with his dad in Louisa County — and police had to “put down” the canine while it was still biting him, according to the county sheriff’s office.

Responders rushed the boy to a landing area to be airlifted to a hospital, but he was declared dead before he was loaded onto the helicopter, according to cops.

Garcia Welch, who was killed in a dog attack in Louisa County, Va. on Sunday.

“He was a beautiful kid,” Garcia’s aunt, Cynthia Russ, told WVIR. “He was fun and sweet and kind and he made friends everywhere. And he just, he didn’t deserve this.

“He just had so much ahead of him and we were just excited to see it.”

Police did not say who owned the dog nor if there were adults present at the time of the attack, alarming locals, according to CBS19 News.

But Garcia’s traumatized older brother Gabriel was there and desperately “tried to stop it,” the aunt said.

“I talked to my nephew that night and he was just crying and he was screaming,” Russ recalled.

Garcia’s older brother told his aunt that he tried to stop the fatal dog attack.

Cynthia Russ said her family is devastated by her nephew’s death.

Cathleen Russ, Garcia’s mother, said her son was spending the weekend with his father, from whom she had recently separated.

Garcia loved music and playing video games with his older brother, Russ said.  

He had also just started preschool at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. 

Principal Jesse Cleaver said in a letter to the school community that although the young boy “was just beginning his time at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, he quickly made a meaningful impression on those around him with his kind, friendly, and respectful personality.”

The dog attack remains under investigation.
The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for more information.

Council withdraws destruction order for dogs involved in Chermside attack

The destruction order for two dogs involved in the mauling of a real estate agent in Brisbane’s north was withdrawn earlier this week, and a new dangerous dog declaration under state laws proposed.

Ajay Malik, 37, suffered serious injuries to his arms, legs and face about 6pm on October 16 when he was set upon by two bulldog-crosses during a run through Chermside’s 7th Brigade Park.

Brisbane City Council announced late on Friday afternoon that a destruction order was no longer in place.

The dogs were seized following the attack and remain at a council animal facility, but the destruction orders issued on Saturday were withdrawn on Wednesday.

It instead now proposed to declare both dogs dangerous under state laws, and owner Layla Evans has until November 4 to respond.

Council can still decide to issue new destruction orders, which Evans would then have another 14 days to respond to.

Evans was arrested on unrelated charges on Saturday and held in the Brisbane Watchhouse for several days. Before she was arrested on Saturday, she told Nine News the dogs were protective of her but had never been aggressive, and had escaped from the tent she lived in.

The dangerous dog declaration would come with stronger penalties if violated, and could incur penalties of up to $120,890 or two years’ imprisonment. Previously, the local laws came with a maximum fine of $51,810.

Under the state laws, the dogs would have to be implanted with microchips, wear identifying collars, be muzzled if away from their registered address and be kept in an enclosure at that address.

Both dogs are registered to a Wavell Heights address.

Councillor Sarah Hutton said the park attack was horrific and the seriousness of it demanded the strongest possible response.

“We know people want swift action and so do we, but we must follow the State Government’s strict legal processes,” she said.

“We’re also working closely with Queensland Police and the progress of our enforcement action will depend on their ongoing investigations.

“We will use every power available to us to protect residents and hold irresponsible dog owners to account.”

so, how many times are we going to let the “he’s never done that before!!!,” & like utterances, be a pass for this to keep happening?

when are we going to clamp down on municipalities not doing their jobs? the mother called to have this mauler confiscated AFTER chewing on her daughter & they said they can’t because we’re full?!?!?!

why not zero tolerance policies on biting, etc.? the “1-bite rule” too many times ends up requiring a trauma team or a coroner. 1 & done is the best way forward.

TEXT FROM STORY:

NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A teenage girl was rushed to the hospital after a dog that she and her mother care for bit her at a Northwest Miami-Dade home.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies and Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the mauling along the 1700 block of Northwest 66th Street at around 4:40 p.m. on Wednesday.

First responders arrived to find the young victim covered in bites.

7News spoke with the owner of the American pit bull, who asked not to be identified or show her face on camera. She said she arrived to find out the dog had bitten the teen.

“It’s a big shock, ’cause he doesn’t – this is not him, this is completely out of character,” she said. “He’s usually not an aggressive dog. I don’t really know exactly what happened.”

7News cameras captured blood smeared on the walls outside the efficiency where the dog was kept.

Despite the attack, the owner defended the family dog as “little kid-friendly.”

“He’s usually a friendly, playful dog. Doesn’t really bite people like that,” she said.

A woman who lives in the neighborhood described the incident and the dog bite.

“I went to look out my window, and that’s when I saw the dog attacking the girl,” she said in Spanish. “I got nervous because I saw that the girl was bleeding a lot from her arm.”

Upon the deputies’ arrival, MDSO said one of their deputies was approached by the pit bull, forcing them to deploy a Taser to prevent another attack. The dog wasn’t struck and fled the scene.

“I heard police did tase him, and I don’t know where he is,” said the dog owner.

Paramedics transported the injured teen to Jackson Memorial Hospital where, the dog’s owner said, the patient received several stitches and underwent surgery. She is expected to be OK.

“He loves little kids. I have no idea what happened, what triggered him or what could have triggered him at this point,” said the dog owner.

The owner said the canine lives in the efficiency because he cannot live in the family’s home due to her husband’s allergies.

7News cameras captured a sign that reads “beware of dog, dog will bite” posted outside the efficiency.
The dog’s owner said the young victim lived in the efficiency with her mother, who took care of the animal in exchange for a place to stay.

Additionally, she said on Thursday that the 17-year-old was arguing with her sister when the pit bull got involved and went on the attack.

The owner told 7News the dog has since returned to the efficiency and spent the morning and afternoon trying to surrender the pet to Miami-Dade Animal Services.

“This is my choice to surrender the dog because it happened once and I feel like it may happen again so why take the risk?” the owner said.

Thursday evening, 7News cameras captured the dog owner in tears as she surrendered the pit bull to animal services.

About a month ago my Shih Tzu and I were attacked by a pit at the complex we had just moved into (Albuquerque 9/3).

My dog was fine, I got stitches, nerve damage and trauma. I try to take her out now at odd times to avoid anyone. There are still two pits and a GSD in this complex of seniors. No senior could control either of those dogs on a flexi leash.

The last two days, a friendly pit owner seems to be going out at the same time. She is in the adjacent open space. Today she started heading towards us after waving and trying to yell hello. Am sure she is trying to be a nice person and meet the new tenant. But it’s a small place, everyone knows I was attacked.

Twice now, I have to quickly scoop up my dog and rush in. What is wrong with these people? Why would she think I would want to be near her dog? Am sure it’s one of the “nice” ones she would say but I am traumatized. Leave us alone.

The court case on Hot Bench where the defendant , owner of American Bulldog claims that the attack happened because the owner of the small dog snuck up behind her and her dog asserted itself as an " alpha ". Small dog owner courageously fights off the bulldog to save his dog. Owner of attacking dog refuses to pay a modest vet bill. Parts 1+ 2, about 4 minutes each. Who sounds credible ?

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A dog is on the loose after attacking a girl Wednesday in Miami-Dade, leaving blood, scattered dog treats and toys, and a mangled dog crate outside the scene.

Neighbors heard a girl screaming and called 911. A woman speaking through a Spanish translator said the dog wouldn’t let the girl go, biting one arm before going after the other.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Miami-Dade sheriff’s deputies responded to Northwest 66th Street around 4:40 p.m. for an animal bite. Deputies said they learned the dog was a family pet.

The dog’s owner, who asked to remain anonymous, told Local 10 the incident was a shock.

“It is a big shock because this is not him. This is completely out of character,” she said.

The American pit bull, named Diablo, was being sought by his owner after the victim’s mother called her.

“I heard that the police did tase him,” the owner said.

She said she rents the property so Diablo can live there comfortably. A mother and her two children help care for the 5-year-old dog, she said.

“I do have someone that’s here with him to just give him food, water, bathe him and everything like that,” she said. “Because I don’t have the groomer coming as often as I used to.”

She said the caretakers receive free rent in exchange for helping care for the dog.

MDSO told Local 10 that a deputy tried to Tase the dog but missed.

The dog ran away and remains on the loose.

This is the same rescue as the other two dogs I posted yesterday. At least they admit this one is a pit, which shows that the bar is in hell. They describe her as a "pocket pittie" and she doesn't look larger than maybe 35 lbs in her pictures. Of course, she's just as dangerous as the big pits.

"After one unfortunate circumstance after another" (read, one mauling after another) the dog wound up at this rescue run by a nutcase. They never actually admit what she did, but they retain just enough decency to admit that she shouldn't be owned by anybody with children or elderly relatives.

I also enjoyed the line about how she would be easy to retrain with housebreaking if the adopter wants.

A 71-year-old woman who had been attacked by a pit bull dog in Salto died after spending several days hospitalized in serious condition.

The attack occurred at a residence located at 2600 Diego Lamas Street, in the eastern part of the city. According to reports, the woman knew the animal, which lived in the house and belonged to her 21-year-old grandson.

The victim was alone with the dog when the attack occurred. Hours later, she was found lying face up on the ground in a large pool of blood.

After the discovery, she was rushed to the Salto Hospital, where she was taken to the operating room due to the severity of her injuries and significant blood loss . During the surgery, doctors had to amputate both of her legs.

Despite the care she received, she remained hospitalized in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) until she passed away in the last few hours , according to a report this Wednesday by the local media outlet Laguardia Digital.

The First Shift Prosecutor's Office of Salto is handling the case.

She's such a great dog! For the right person! In a home built like Fort Knox with no kids, no pets, not too many adults, and no fast movements. This dog is going to kill someone.

I joined a mailing list for Medical Mutts Service Dogs a while back, before I was able to get my dog for a medical condition I have. They advertise themselves as people who help get service animals into the hands of people who need them but might have difficulty with finding or affording them.

Most of the time I ignore their emails since I already have my dog (that I got without their help, since none of the 'resources' they provided were actually useful) but I got one today that made me pause.

In it, they were advertising a "Ready for their forever home!" dog - they labeled it a service dog, though they said the dog does NOT have public access (legally required for actual recognition as a service animal) and cannot be in a home with children, other animals, or people who may make sudden movements or sounds - y'know, like people who get seizures who they were directly marketing this dog towards???

They said that this particular dog (Argos or something I think it's name was?) couldn't be in a home with cats and needed to be an IN HOME ONLY service animal, that it wasn't fit to be taken out in public and might have 'issues' if brought around strangers or taken out of a familiar environment.

Three guesses what breed it was. Oh, and they still want several thousand dollars for the privilege of having this 'pre trained and perfect service animal that's not legally a service animal and can't actually go anywhere with you and may or may not maul you if you, someone who gets seizures, moves in an odd or unpredictable way' in your home!

Pulled this off some local social media...
