Gabrielle Giffords Husband Pulls Daughters Dog Off Sea Lion In Laguna Beach
LAGUNA BEACH (CBSLA.com) Gabrielle Giffords husband pulled his daughters dog off of a sea lion in Laguna Beach over the weekend.
The incident, which was captured on video, happened around 1:40 p.m. Saturday at Goff Cove Beach by the Montage Laguna Beach.
Retired astronaut Mark Kellys 18-year-old daughter, who was on vacation with her father and Giffords, was walking the American bulldog on a leash when the 65-pound dog saw the sea lion, ran off and attacked.
Nathan, who declined to give his last name, happened to be having lunch nearby when he started to film the chaotic scene on his cellphone.
The graphic video, which he later posted on YouTube, showed the young girl screaming while her dog had the sea lion by the neck.
Two other women tried to help until Kelly finally arrived and forced the dog off of the animal.
The sea lion later died.

If I had been there with my Colt AR 15 I could have put down that vicious dog and saved that poor baby sea lion. Sigh

While the family vacationed on Laguna Beach, the bulldog struck despite Mark Kellys best efforts the sea lion perishes.
Kelly’s vicious dog should be put down with extreme prejudice.

Dogs’ teeth don’t kill sea lion pups, the gums holding those teeth do.
Let’s outlaw the possession of teeth by dog gums!
A good guy with a Glock could have helped a lot. Not all Glock users are nuts like Loughner.
obviously she's not capable of controlling/having a dog... there better be a hefty fine attached to her behavior along with her not being allowed to own a dog
Thanks DogByte6RER.
Come on. Where are the usual Pit Bull defenders?
You have a dog bred to kill, no one should be shocked when it kills.
Silly prole. She's connected to the elite class; there will be no fine.
I heard this story earlier today — didn’t know there was a connection to Gabby Giffords and Mike Kelly.
Thanks for posting.
Just doing the jobs that AR-15s won’t do.
Just as a thought exercise, imagine if Romney, Gingrich, Perry, Sarah, or any repub,, had their pitbull, videotaped killing baby seals.
Additionally, defense dogs should be limited to seven dull teeth to prevent excessive penetration, and hunting dogs should only carry three teeth.
of course... WHAT was i thinking???
LOLOLOL... not only that, they can reproduce without a license!!!
” - - - was walking the American bulldog - - - - “
And all the fisheys in
Laguna Beach Bay
Jumped with Joy
And said Yay! Yay! Yay!
American Bulldogs on Beach Patrol know how to un-seal a Beach.
Now they need to be trained to un-seal Obama’s official papers and school report cards.
Imagine if this were one of Bushs’s dogs?
We’d NEVER hear the end of it.
SoCal has VERY strict leash laws — I was yelled at via bullhorn by cops a few days ago for having my little Shuh-Tzu off leash on a fenced path alongside the freeway. Thank God I was behind a fence and there was nowhere for the cop to park —heard later it’s a $370 fine + an automatic appearance in court — and that the cops go out looking for off-leash dogs because it’s easy $$ for the city.
