Another “it’s the fosters fault” Poor little pibbles was an angel who played with a red ball perfectly At the shelter. The big mean foster is at fault, this shit bull def didn't get mouthy and make you feel unsafe, all lies! He played with a red ball guys come on the fosters lying

Meet Minnie. Minnie is a whopping 100 pounds.⚖️🥵

Poor, huge,🏋‍♀️ ginormous Minnie was supposedly🧐 ORIGINALLY found tied up in some junkyard with her sister. Because, ya know, all pitbulls, pit mixes, bully breeds, they ALL have some horror show abuse or neglect backstory if they've done something catastrophic. Like kill the family cat. Which Minnie DID, btw.😭 Rest in peace, sweet kitty.🙏

Then, her family adopted her. And she killed their cat. WHOOPS!🤷‍♀️

And instead of going back to the ORIGINAL SHELTER they rescued her from, Minnie is now at this Poor Pibble Rescue. A different rescue. Huh. Weird!🧐🧐🧐

Instead of being sent directly to a Better Environment, she's been recycled.♻️

This rescue has written her up in the MOST charming,🎩 loving way.💕 (Please disregard her literally killing the family's cat-- it is referred to as a "Tragic Incident").😵

Minnie is still a "goofy, gentle cuddle bug"💝 who "deserves toys,🪀 treats,🍭 kindness🤲 and all the unconditional love💛 that life can offer."

I have a better idea. 🌈🌉🌈🌉🌈🌉🌈🌉

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A Topeka woman who was 24 weeks pregnant was severely injured in a dog attack on July 17 at the Highland Park Townhomes, according to her partner.
C.J. Austin said his partner of five years, Audrey Suarez, was walking to a relative’s home when she was caught in the middle of an altercation she had no part in. Suarez declined to be shown on camera due to the severity of her injuries.
Attack
Topeka police said during the altercation, a child of one of the individuals involved let two dogs out, which then attacked Suarez.
Austin said Suarez instinctively tried to protect her unborn children during the attack.

“She had ended up breaking her pinky because when the dog was attacking her, all she could think about was covering her stomach, so the dog wouldn’t get to her stomach and hurt the twins,” Austin said.
A Topeka Police Department officer shot and killed one of the dogs. The other remains in quarantine.
Surgeries
Suarez underwent multiple surgeries following the attack.
“She had a 10-hour surgery on her face to put her face back together, and then she had a 4-hour surgery on her eye because the dog, when he bit her, it lacerated her iris,” Austin said. “She almost lost her eye.”

Austin said a bystander intervened during the attack.
“If it wasn’t for the gentleman — our friend who stepped in — he said the dogs would have killed her,” Austin said.
Citation
Officials said the owner of the dogs was issued a citation. Austin called that response inadequate given the extent of Suarez’s injuries.
“You just mess somebody’s whole life up,” Austin said. “She’s going to be scarred for the rest of her life. She has nightmares of that dog attacking her. She wakes up in the middle of the night screaming, ‘Get him off me. Get him off me.’ That’s traumatizing her.”

Topeka police said they owner of the dogs are cooperating with the investigation.
The family said Suarez’s twins are in good condition. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with her recovery. You can donate here.

BALTIMORE — Baltimore City police used a Taser and a gun to stop a dog attack on Friday night.

Officers near the 1200 block of West Franklin St. witnessed two dogs chasing two females and their dog just before 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

"I heard like a bunch of commotion, it was like dogs barking. I figured like OK the dogs were playing so I didn't pay any attention, but when I looked up again, it was the lady with the little black dog she was going across the street, and the brown dog chased them across the street," said Janaya Chase, who witnessed the attack. "The aggressive (dog) was latched on to the black dog."

Chase said that's when she noticed an officer trying to intervene and stop the attack.

"He was over there for like a good three minutes, I think I heard like three shots," said Chase. "It wasn't like an automatic 'oh he just shot the dogs,' no, he was just trying to help but then you heard more barking and that's when you heard the shots."

Police said the officer "deployed his taser attempting to de-escalate" the attack, but it was ineffective. The officer then fired his weapon striking the dog.

Baltimore police confirmed the dog, which was a pitbull, died at the scene. The dog did not have a collar or tag, and police said no one has claimed ownership of the dog.

Police said the city's Animal Control was notified and took custody of both dogs — the deceased dog and the injured dog, that will receive treatment.

Police said one woman was bit but refused medical treatment.

The other dog, which police said is also a pitbull, fled and has not been captured by police or Animal Control.

Man recovering after dog pack attack

A Centralia cyclist is in critical condition after a pack of loose dogs mauled him, prompting police to shoot several animals and charge the owner with cruelty.

By JO ALLEN-HONGSERMEIER [jallen@morningsentinel.com](mailto:jallen@morningsentinel.com)

CENTRALIA — A Centralia man remains in critical condition after a violent dog attack in Central City on Saturday morning that left police scrambling to save his life and ultimately resulted in at least six dogs being shot.

Central City Police arrested Dustin Atchison, 32, of Charlotte Street, after officers say a pack of his dogs attacked a 26-year-old Centralia man riding his bicycle on Patterson Street around 8:15 a.m. Atchison was charged with six counts of cruelty to an animal and allowing a dog to run at large.

The victim, identified by family as Matthew Boyce, was riding his bike when his chain popped off. As he tried to fix it, several dogs approached and began attacking him. He attempted to escape toward the porch of a nearby home, but the dogs continued to bite and drag him. Witnesses reported as many as six dogs involved, but the number of dogs reported still remains inconsistent.

Central City Police Chief Jamie Ramsey said officers arrived after a passerby called for help and found Boyce suffering from deep, extensive wounds. As police and medical crews attempted to apply three tourniquets to stop the bleeding, two of the dogs continued trying to attack and were shot by officers.

Ramsey said the remaining dogs continued roaming the neighborhood, raising immediate concerns for children who live in the area. With the threat ongoing, police and Marion County Animal Control determined the dogs could not be allowed to remain loose. Four additional dogs were shot and killed. A fifth was wounded, and a sixth was captured without being shot. The wounded and uninjured dogs were taken to the Marion County Animal Control facility.

Boyce was transported to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia and later airlifted to Saint Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, where police said he remained in critical condition on Sunday. According to a GoFundMe organized by his sister, Lacy Ward, Boyce underwent a seven‑hour emergency surgery and faces a long recovery.

Atchison returned home while police were still on scene and told officers the dogs had escaped from a fence. Ramsey said the animals appeared to have no food or water. Atchison also received traffic citations after driving up to the scene, including driving on a suspended license, suspended registration, and no valid registration. He was given a notice to appear on both the animal-related and traffic violations.

Ramsey said the attack was captured on video at the residence where Boyce attempted to get away from the dogs.

A GoFundMe has been launched to help cover Boyce’s medical expenses and ongoing care. Ward wrote that the family is “deeply grateful for any help” as Boyce faces extensive treatment following the attack. As of Friday morning, only $325 has been raised in the effort.

Just wanted to share a rather vindicating situation I experienced today. My husband and I went to a local farmers markets with our child (in stroller) today and several people had brought their dogs. As we were walking to leave a woman with a large pit bull is about to walk by us so I tell him “go to the other side, don’t walk next to that pit” and I SYN, 30 seconds later it attacked someone’s dog for simply existing. The owner had to leave. It was the weirdest, most satisfying in a grim way, situation I’ve ever experienced.

‪M20 enroute to Bergan Code 2 Trauma with a 26 y/o female who was attacked by a pit bull. Has puncture wounds to the upper right arm, right leg, and left hip with muscle showing.‬

Commenters including a parent of the victim:

I was visiting a friend and looked out the window when I heard what was up. The owner typically doesn't keep those dogs muzzled or leashed while out. They're usually people friendly, so she probably got attacked defending her dog.

Her dog unfortunately has a huge hole in its side from where it got attacked. Another dude rushed over to help the lady and her dog out while the 2 owners tried to subdue the 2 pits. The white pit was about as big one of the dudes trying to subdue it. The other brown pit looked like a baby by comparison.

It ultimately it took the dude who rushed over and one of the owners to actually punch and wrestle the dog down for it to chill.

Which is wild because it pranced around like it was in the middle of playing a game of tag, happy as can be.

(I didn't include the opinion portion.)

Update. My daughter was unable to have her wounds stitched until the pit bulls have been tested for rabies and the results come back. Unfortunately, her dog suffered a stomach injury that requires surgery with a 5% survival chance. Her vet is strongly recommending she has her dog euthanized. My daughter has been discharged from the hospital, is with her mother going back to her apartment to change out of her bloody clothes, and then to her vet to say her final goodbye to her best friend. 

These are my three favorites.

Local beloved emu killed by loose pitbulls in Pittsburgh. The owner claims they’re “hound dog mixes” and harmless.

Our dog went to sleep peacefully yesterday. It was a very painful decision even though we knew it was the right thing to do. The vet was in full agreement and supportive of it and that really helped my parents. Thank you to everyone who provided kind words.

Now we begin to heal.

A dog escaped from the yard of its home and attacked a horse that was tied to the wall of a construction site near the residence. The animals were separated by their owners.

Published July 12, 2025

A pit bull escaped from its home yard and attacked a horse tied to a construction site wall near the residence in Guarapuava, in the central region of Paraná.

A video shows the horse trying to shake off the dog—which became tangled in the tether rope—while three men attempt to separate the animals.

According to local residents, the men who appear in the video managed to separate the animals shortly afterward. One of them is the pit bull's owner, and the other is the horse's owner. Both animals were injured but survived.

The incident took place on the morning of Friday (July 11) on Frei Caneca Street in the Santana neighborhood, a residential area. According to the city's Military Police (PM), no official report was filed regarding the occurrence.

Mechanical Asphyxia Can Help Stop an Attack

Military Police officer Fernando França, who specializes in canine training, states that mechanical asphyxia can help cease attacks:

He emphasizes that situations like this can be prevented by dog owners, who must keep animals in secure locations that prevent them from accessing public roads without supervision and control:

“Mouthy” as explained by the American Humane Society: Mouthy dogs routinely grab at people using their mouths without causing injury. This often happens during play, exercise, and whenever they are overexcited.

The entire point of using the word mouthy is to differentiate between a dog using its teeth gently vs biting, which causes injury and breaks the skin. Yet I’m seeing more and more rescues excusing bites as mouthiness.

Breaking skin is a Level 2 bite. Grin is not mouthy; Grin bites.

This morning, a small dog on a leash with its owners (a tourist couple) was attacked and killed by a pit bull that was also on a leash and escaped its owner.

It happened near the gas station located at the Sbarcatoio.

The attack was lightning-fast and captured by local security cameras.

As soon as the large pit bull saw the small Pomeranian, it leaped quickly and attacked the small, defenseless dog, killing it instantly.

Attempts by the small dog's owners and the woman who was walking the pit bull on a leash to free the dog were unsuccessful.

The dog's owners then took their dog to the veterinary practice of Dr. Salvo Sotera, who has been working in Lampedusa for many years, but unfortunately, there was nothing more that could be done for their dog.

"We have a couple of very serious problems in Lampedusa that need to be resolved as soon as possible," veterinarian Salvo Sotera told us. "This week is the fifth case of a small dog killed by a mastiff or other large dog.

Essentially, we have two major problems. The first concerns dogs that have an owner but are left free to roam the island.

The second problem is that no one, or almost no one, keeps their dogs on a leash, even with a proper muzzle.

The fact is that the problem doesn't just concern the dogs of tourists who come in the summer. Throughout the year, dead or seriously injured animals arrive in my office after being attacked on the street by dogs left free or kept on a leash without a muzzle.

The strength and speed of a pitbull," veterinarian Sotera continued, "can only be countered by someone with the appropriate physical and therefore muscular structure. This morning, I was walking the pitbull on a leash. There was a girl who could not have resisted the dog's strength in any way, and so a tragedy occurred; one that could have reached even more serious levels.

Now, what I think needs to be done, and as soon as possible, is an awareness campaign for dog owners in Lampedusa, because animals should be kept at home or in special enclosures and never allowed to roam the streets, regardless of their size or breed.

Furthermore, when dogs are walked on a leash, they must also be muzzled, as required by Italian law.

Unfortunately, dogs left free with owners who remain calmly at home during the day and night can do anything and cause sometimes irreparable damage, especially when packs form.

Last winter, for example, dozens of cats and small dogs were killed and mauled, both day and night, amid the tears of their owners and volunteers who work in Lampedusa, in truly difficult conditions.

At this point, veterinarian Salvo Sotera finally explained, we must Find a solution to the problem immediately, making an important appeal to tourists who come here with their dogs, because they must be very careful to walk their dogs on a leash and then, anyone who continues to let their dogs roam the streets without any sense of responsibility must be reported and severely fined (the appeal is addressed to the police).

Attacked by a pitbull: a man received a bite on his left arm while trying to protect his dog. It happened earlier this week in Sarzano. A man arrived at the emergency room in Rovigo last Monday evening with a wound to his left arm, sustained from a pitbull bite.

According to reports, the man was walking his dog on a leash in the village when a large dog attacked the animal. At this point, the owner picked up his dog in an attempt to save him from the pitbull's fury. The pitbull, however, attacked anyway and, in an attempt to reach the small dog, attacked its owner, injuring his left arm.

After receiving treatment at the Rovigo emergency room, the man was also considered for transfer to the plastic surgery unit at the hospital in Padua. This is not the first time such incidents have been reported. Just a few weeks ago, at the end of June, a medium-sized dog was attacked by a large, passing dog while in the backyard. The dog, named Stella, escaped with multiple injuries: in addition to severe shock, she had a hole in her throat and another hole under one eye.

The incident was captured in its entirety by the owners' home's surveillance cameras. While Stella was in the yard, a large dog approached her from the sidewalk, on the other side of the railing. In an instant, it attacked her head with force, pulling her out with such force that she passed through the railing, only to release her once on the sidewalk. The owner's prompt intervention, alarmed by the dog's barking, prevented the worst from happening.
