Twelve dogs, identified by Detroit police as pit bulls, attacked a man some time before 10 p.m. on Pennsylvania on Oct. 2. Police arrived and fatally shot one of the animals, causing the remainder to retreat into the open front door where they lived.
DETROIT, MI -- It was about 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 2 when a pack of up to 12 pit bull and mixed-breed dogs mauled 50-year-old Steven Constantine to near death in Detroit. He spent almost a month in Intensive Care.
"It was worse than your worst nightmare," Constantine's sister, Katherine Hawley of Shelby Township, told MLive Detroit Monday.
Constantine, who narrowly survived, remains hospitalized facing numerous surgeries.
"He lost his left arm just below his shoulder; they tried to reattach his left leg but they had to amputate that four days ago ... " Hawley said. "They managed to save his right arm ... The dogs literally ate the large muscle and tendons in his forearm ... They reattached the foot to see if they can save it."
The dogs bit off Constantine's right ear, but fortunately did not impact his ability to hear and did not disfigure his face, Hawley said.
Constantine received skin grafts and the numerous bight marks on the crown of his head continue to heal.

And.....(wait for it) but pit bulls are so nice.....
Pit bulls and parolees...What can go wrong?
Terrible breed owned by terrible people.
Right. I was in my favorite kitchen store when the owners came in with their young pit bull, intending to keep her in the shop at night. I was standing close to their office door and they brought the pit bull my way. I stood stock still, not facing the dog, no eye contact, but with my hand slightly extended. The dog came up cautiously, hesitantly sniffed my hand, and we were good friends. The owners, I think, were not happy.
Then the remainder of pit bull owners, with IQs between 20 and 80, would be able to fulfill the requirement.
Such sweet dogs. The dog on Little Rascals was a pit bull. They are so mislabeled. /S
Worthless cur dogs that nobody should own.
They're the Dogs of Peace, don'tchaknow. They're just misunderstood, badly treated puppies, who are the victims of breedism.
That dude probably called them a bad name or something, so he obviously deserved it.
Huh? I really do not understand your reply.
I know pit bulls and I would NEVER own one, even a mixed bred.
It is not their fault, people bred them for a particular reason....that’s who they are are
PB owners on the higher side of that IQ range have been known to operate a computer - and even enter rudimentary comments on discussion websites.
I had a german shepherd attack me as a kid in the 60’s - I think I was 5....not sure why it snapped....pretty scary though
Must've been a pit bull in disguise.
Another case of a trigger-happy cop who rolls up and just starts shooting the dog.
One doesn’t know what sort of dogs were invoved in the attack from the label. Pit Bull these days is the MSM word for a dog that attacks someone or that someone doesn’t like.
MSM and police.
AND $100,000 cash bond!
Hello Chet (wherever you are) You were right all along.
You were doing good by getting the word out abut pit bulls.
Don’t know why you were banned, but you were doing good.
Well said!
