Multiple sources, the victim was 91 and apparently, the father of the dog owner’s boyfriend. Apparently.
The comments at the three sources are a bit convoluted. I am a bit uncertain, even after reading 3x.
Did you or someone you know recently get bit by a dog? You sure seem like you’re on some kind of dog bite mission for some reason.
I refuse to own a dog that bites when not provoked. In most states there is a “One Bite” rule that they will not prosecute you if is the first time the dog bit anyone. But you are still liable for the damages.

Thanks for posting this. Awareness starts with knowledge. One of my friends trained K9s for Chico, California 28 years before moving to Oklahoma years ago. He has helped me train my Malinois. He is a frequent lecturer at training workshops, and works with utility and delivery workers on how to avoid bites from dogs. He did a short video on the topic, that I may still have around somewhere. Again, thank you for posting.

P.S. A trained dog is like a loaded weapon; an untrained dog is like a loaded weapon laying on the ground available to anyone. It can be harmful, like the gun, to those not “trained” to deal with it.
That effing sucks.
91 yr old man, most probably a veteran who saw action during WWII, doing his part to protect America.
And at the end of his long life, he goes out like this.
What stupid, stupid child thinks it proper to have a frail old man in the same vicinity of a jihady dog.
Damn. RIP Sir.
For those wondering its Northern California. I say northern California because not all of California is a freak state. Maryland has the same distinction. take out baltimore, mongomery and Anne Arundel county, the state isnt so leftist. biggest problem is, the people in those counties are allowed out of those counties to roam freely to other counties of the state and to move to other counties. they ar ewhat I call “ poop in the soup”. IE the soup is edible until someone adds a little poop. then its unfit to eat.
The title displays more concern for the life of the dog than the two mauled. Sad.

I am visiting my son in Arcata. I drive by Giuntelli every day and my Fav Mex Restaurant is there. When I go walking in nearby town, I am put off often by barking dogs, some unrestrained. A lot of strange people hang out in Humboldt County.
Another Pit turns on its owner. The clues are all there no matter how much they try to hide them.
