MADISON TWP. —
The owner of the dog who attacked a 59-year-old woman at her Madison Twp. home Monday afternoon remains unsure if she wants the dog back.
Sheriff’s deputies said that Cindy Whisman, 59, was dead when they arrived at her ranch-style home at 4743 Eck Road in Madison Twp. at about 1:10 p.m. Monday. A 911 call was received at 1:03 p.m. from a neighbor who told dispatchers that she saw a woman being attacked by a dog, according to sheriff’s officials.
That dog, Polo, described at a pit bull by the owner, is now at the Animal Friends Humane Society, awaiting the outcome of the investigation by Butler County Sheriff’s detectives.
Julie Whisman, Cindy’s daughter and the dog’s owner, said today she wants to see the results of that investigation and better understand what happened before making a determination about Polo’s fate. She said after thinking about the situation for 24 hours, she is “indecisive.”
Cindy Whisman was a “sweet woman who loved music,” Julie Whisman said today.
Julie Whisman and her young son just moved with her mother and father in the past two months, but she said her mother had known the dog for years.
Polo had never showed any signs of aggression with her son or anyone else, Julie Whisman said.
Family members do have the option to get ownership of the dog back, pending a court hearing and an order by a judge, detectives said. If they opt to not keep the dog, it will be euthanized after the investigation is complete, detectives said.
Monday’s dog attack was the fourth serious dog mauling — and third fatality — to happen in southwest Ohio this year. It is the first fatal dog attack in Butler County since 1998, according to sheriff’s officials.

Personally, Pit Bull lover that I am, I would insist that Polo be given a fighting chance. Lock the woman and the dog in a cell. Serve neither any food. After a week, release the survivor. My money is on Polo.
Then of course, I'd shoot the 4-legged SOB, and every one in the kennel that bred him.
So the laws of Ohio make it the Mecca for pit bull owners.
Is there any other domestic creature with a track record of causing such human mayhem?
<><><><
Yup. Humans.
just saying.
The question should be whether the victim’s family want just the killer dog killed or the owner as well.
<><><><
The dog’s owner was the victim’s daughter. The owners and the victim’s family are one and the same.
4th paragraph of the excerpt.
Does the daughter run a meth lab? Why would she even consider allowing such an animal to live?
That’s a great question.
Who would want a living reminder of how your mom came to be dead?
