A Connecticut artist had her nose bitten off by her boyfriend’s pit bull mix rescue when the pooch got spooked by her teeth-whitening device.
Olivia Quast, 30, from Thomaston, suffered horrific injuries to her face and arm during the Feb. 3 incident involving her boyfriend Graeme Stasyshyn’s 6-year-old dog, Bentley, which he’s had for four years.
Quast speculated that Bentley, who was abused as a puppy, might have been startled and provoked by her teeth-whitening mouth guard equipped with a UV light.

A local woman’s Great Dane tore up a friend’s face when she leaned into her car to give her a hug.
Surgeon prolly opened that incision to clean out under all those bite wounds rather than doing them individually. I treated a six year old girl once who’d had half her face torn off by grandma’s sweet little pitty. Our county sherriff deputies had standing orders to terminate such dogs with extreme prejudice. I’m a dog lover and I was fully n favor of that:
Pit bulls can have sudden Jihad syndrome. They are peaceful, until one day they snap.

I’m sticking with Labrador Retrievers. They may lick you silly, but I’ve never had one bite me or anyone else.
I think she may have set the dog off, not due to brightly polished teeth, but due to her smiling with front teeth barred. To a dog who was abused in the past, that smile can look like a grimace or bared fangs of a predator.
The other sad thing is now that she isnoseless and bandaged, her boyfriend may or may not wish to stay with her.
It was a Pit Bull mix. That should have been her first warning.
Good for the boyfriend.
Shotgun makes great pit bull repellent!
new nose soon... perhaps one like julia roberts from pretty woman
If you bare your teeth and stare at a dog, it is a fight request.
pitbull owners are scum
Pit owners are loyal…I’ll give ‘em that.
Poor lady.
“Quast speculated that Bentley, who was abused as a puppy, might have been startled and provoked by her teeth-whitening mouth guard equipped with a UV light.”
Give me a break.
Pit bulls are always a potential threat. They need to be banned completely.
The owner should be held accountable as if he committed the assault himself, because he is responsible for the violence of this mutt. Prison.
Meanwhile the woman should pursue a massive lawsuit.
Enough of this nonsense. And nutters making excuses for the dog should be ashamed of themselves.
The guy had had the pitbull for 4 years. But how long had the girldfroend been around it? Pits seem to bond to one person, and perceive outsiders and newcomers as rivals, threats, or chew-toys. Maybe some phenomenon triggered the attack, or maybe the dog doesn’t like Mondays. It’s just a roll of the dice with all of them.
“Adopted pitbull who was abused as a puppy” — really stupid, huh?
Wow! —> “Quast’s left arm was also badly injured, requiring surgery to install two plates, eight screws and two pins to hold the limb together.”
“The mauling additionally caused damage to nerves and ligaments in the woman’s hand, which will take a year to heal.”
“The 30-year-old is now waiting for her facial injuries to fully heal before undergoing reconstructive surgery to create a new nose using cartilage from her ear, pieces of her ribs and skin from her forehead.”
And finally —> “In the wake of the brutal attack, Quast and her boyfriend had Bentley humanely euthanized, after treating the dog to a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and letting it play with stuffed animals while listening to classical music”
There have tons and tons of pit bull rescue attacks. They are mean dogs. How many attacks do we have to read about before the liberal virture signalling stops?
Eh? Why can't she just marry him and get everything he owns plus half of what he earns in the divorce?
I live a few miles from where this happened. I see so many people walking pit bull mix breed dogs in the area. I’m betting that the majority of the people have no idea if their dog is dangerous or not. My aunt rescues dogs and cats. She rescued a deaf pit bull. She was sitting on the couch eating some fruit when the dog sat next to her. A young cat came walking over to her and the pit bull bit the cats head completely off. The dog lived with a bunch of cats for almost two years and never showed any aggression towards them. The dog just snapped that day.
Horrible. I would had that dog put down then and there. Just unimaginable.
