Francesco Bove is lucky to be alive.
The 62-year-old artist was so viciously mauled by two pit bulls in the Bronx on Friday that a priest read him his last rites outside a church.
“I think I’m going to die,” Bove said at the time according to his son Anthony. “But the priest made him promise that he will fight until the end.”
A cellphone camera from a tenement caught the attack in which the canines were seen repeatedly biting Bove. At one point they dragged him from the middle of the street to the curb, each taking a shoulder.
The dogs of peace strike again.
They did not include the full headline so I’m sorta not guilty.
I just found a face pic of Cynthia Oliver, the dog owner. I thought I was looking at a 60 plus year old black man. Maybe she has a nice personality, that is, when she is not siccing her dogs on innocent people.
Chet 99 was right.
dog bite victim and dog bite statistics
In the 10-year period from 2005 to 2014, pit bulls killed 203 Americans and accounted for 62% of the total recorded deaths (326). Combined, pit bulls and rottweilers accounted for 74% of these deaths. |
from the website www.dogsbite.org
It appears that they are about 6% of the dog population. So statistically, they bite/maul/kill at about 10x the rate of the rest of the dog population. (Someone let me know if this is incorrect. Thanks)
On judge judy pit bull owners rarely accept their dog is at fault.
Must be a lack of training by these dog’s human parents. Lazy people owning dogs make them a dangerous weapon due to their laziness.
Anyone whom has a pit bull as a pet is nuts. These dogs are deadly.
In case you’re interested: The priest who read him his last rites was Fox News’ Jonathan Morris.
Pit bulls are the Islamists of pets.
One gun.
If any dog attacks me, I will give him my arm and my thumb is going right into his eye until I feel brains.
Did she purposely turn her dogs on this poor man?
The Daily Mail articles from last week said yes, she did.
Is she facing attempted murder charge?
I’ve heard no follow up reports or situational updates.
