HUNTINGTOWN, MD. – Maryland State Police report that a dog that is similar in appearance and aggressiveness to a Pit Bull mauled a woman in Calvert County on June 21, 2018. The breed of dog, a specially bred fighting dog known as a “DOGO”, is known for having an unsteady temperament. The young child of a police officer was killed in Lusby in a pit bull attack recently.
The victim is identified as Jenna Rae Sutphin, 28, of the unit block of Cherry Hill Road in Huntingtown, Maryland. She was transported from the scene to Calvert Memorial Health Center by ambulance and later transferred by air to Washington MedStar Hospital Center where she died.
At about 7:15 a.m., a trooper from Prince Frederick Barrack responded to the unit block of Cherry Hill Road and Route 4 in Huntingtown, Maryland, after receiving an animal complaint from motorists passing by the area. Upon his arrival at the scene, the trooper found the dog actively engaged in the attack on the woman in an overgrown area near the highway, adjacent to the front yard of the victim’s home.
Police say that as the trooper approached the scene, the dog aggressively began moving towards the trooper.
In fear for his safety, the trooper fired his State Police issued .40 caliber pistol, wounding the dog resulting in the winged dog fleeing from the scene of the attack.
The trooper immediately began rendering aid to the victim until EMS personnel arrived on the scene. Sheriff deputies from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office also responded to assist.
In an attempt to apprehend the dog and prevent it from doing further harm to anyone, police on scene fired again, fatally wounding the animal. The dog reportedly belonged to the woman’s fiance.

Dogo Argentino. Not a pit bull.
There has been a discussion recently on pit bulls and dogo argentinos.
We had an attack by two Rottweilers
on a three year old being pushed
in a stroller as the child’s mother
Watched helplessly.
The child’s ears were nearly ripped
Off along with other deep cuts according
to a neighbor that came to the rescue...
Unarmed.

Too bad for the wanna be dog whisperer here. I guess Karma sucks bites.
I hate These animals.
“The dog reportedly belonged to the woman’s fiance.”
Ladies, please for god’s sake be careful who you pick!
“Wounding the dog resulting in the winged dog fleeing from the scene of the attack.”
I thought only pigs could fly.
DOGO is a pit bull on Steroids!
Mixed with Great Dane by a breeder in the 1930s...males weighing near 100 lbs!
Deal with it Fiance..
.spit!
True, true . . .
Ladies, please for god’s sake be careful who you pick!
According to this article, the dog was one of two they were keeping on the property. The other dog is a 1-year-old Malinois shepherd mix, which serves as the fiance's K-9 partner. He is a 12-year Prince George’s County Department of Corrections officer. At the time of the attack, the fiance and the other dog were away undergoing training.
She was a very pretty young lady.
Interesting that they were both involved in K9 law enforcement. She had recently transferred laterally into another law enforcement department. She died violently on Solstice.
Might as well own a tiger. In fact there there seems to be a group of people who just have to keep some type of dangerous animal a lion, tiger, gator, pit bull or like this dogo.
There are actually more tigers kept as pets in Texas than are in the wild(https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/more-tigers-in-american-backyards-than-in-the-wild) Tigers no less, how did that work out for Siegfried & Roy? They use to take their tigers for walk and cuddled with them for pictures.
Always someone who believes that they are exceptional I call it the (Timothy) Treadwell Syndrome.
I am uncertain as to whether you are discussing genetic abnormalities in humans, or ascribing animal quirks to humans.
Was this attack reported in news media? If so, would you mind providing a link? Thank you.
Yes. Agreed.
The guy works in corrections, and while it is a job that needs to be done, I sometimes wonder about people who get a kick out of that kind of work. I'm sure it takes its toll on the psyche, working with the worst human debris day in and day out.
